Bird trivia is a fun way to spend an afternoon, but it’s also great way to prepare for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count! Between Feb. 13-16, people around the world are encouraged to go birdwatching and submit their counts of different species to a global database. This information helps scientists better understand and protect birds of all sorts. Visit https://www.birdcount.org to learn more.
