The Great Backyard Bird Count
- This event has passed.
February 20, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Join Maryland Coastal Bays Program for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count at Heron Park.
Each February, data collected from participants of the Great Backyard Bird Count are utilized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society to better understand global populations prior to Spring migration.
MCBP’s Archer Larned and Kim Abplanalp will lead a group at the park. A few species we may come across include the American Wigeon, White Throated Sparrow, and Pied-billed Grebe. We’ll also likely see a variety of waterfowl and forest birds, and possibly eagles and other raptors!
So, grab your cold weather gear, some sturdy boots, and your binoculars!
