Join us on Saturday, February 19 at Pebble Hill Plantation for the 25th annual Great Backyard Bird Count and share the joys of birdwatching with your family! This worldwide event is a great opportunity for all budding birdwatchers and bird-count veterans to use their skills. People from around the world count the birds they see for at least 15 minutes and then enter their checklists online. Each checklist submitted during the Great Backyard Bird Count helps researchers at the National Audubon Society, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Birds Canada learn more about how birds are doing and how to protect them and the environment we share.

The annual worldwide four-day event will take place February 18, through February 21, 2022. Saturday, February 19, the Pebble Hill Learning Center staff will be available from 10:00 A.M. – 2:00 P.M. to offer bird watching tips and assistance with entering the collected data to birdcount.org. Binoculars and birding field guides can be checked out at the Pebble Hill Visitors’ Center for participants to use while viewing birds on Pebble Hill’s main grounds. *Grounds admission fees are required: Adults - $5.50; Children (2-12 years) - $2.00; Under 2 years – FREE.
