Join in the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count taking place February 12-15The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds.
We invite you to add your observations to this ever-growing database of observations via the GBBC website. Explore reports coming in from across the continent, upload images for the photo contest, and tweet about the birds you see, adding the gbbc tag to have your comments appear in the Twitter widget on the GBBC home page. Just by participating in the GBBC you’ll be entered into a drawing for great prizes. The GBBC is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with new Canadian partner, Bird Studies Canada and sponsorship from Wild Birds Unlimited.

A fundraising event for the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, the river ride will feature wildlife sightings and ecological and natural history insights from a local wildlife biologist.
The trip will start at Tree of Heaven and meander along a 7-mile stretch of gentle Class 2 and 3 rapids.
Novices, as well as children 4 and up, are welcome. Experienced rafters and kayakers are encouraged to join in.
Last year more than 50 people participated with eight rafts, six kayaks, donations of over 100 bars of organic dark chocolate, four trays of organic peaches and four organic watermelons.
Trip organizer Shantam Sheptow said, “I would love to see a large and happy flotilla of friends, celebrating the river and joining to appreciate the Ecology Center for their tremendous accomplishments in protecting our bioregion over the past two decades.”
Fresh local organic fruits and chocolate delights will be provided along the way.
The non-profit Ecology Center’s mission is to preserve the Mount Shasta bioregion for future generations.
The requested donation is $85 for adults and $55 for kids under 18. Details can be found at www.riverdancers.com/ecology.html, or on Ecology Center’s website, www.mountshastaecology.org or call the Ecology Center at 926-5655. Advance reservations recommended.
