What mid-winter activity is fun, easy, free, and helps bird conservation? What can parents and teachers do to connect children to a world of natural wonders? This February, the thirteenth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, will give everyone a chance to discover the birds in their neighborhood and "Count for the Record."
Join us at the Burroughs Library on Friday, February 12 and Saturday, February 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as we count birds, meet the public and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow birders!

The 2010 International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) is a special year declared by the UN General Assembly in recognition of the 2010 target to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss worldwide. Migratory species and their habitats are increasingly threatened by habit loss, over-exploitation, pollution and climate change. Biodiversity and ecosystem services are vital for the well being of human society and long term prosperity, but consequences of its loss are yet not fully understood.
