Great Backyard Bird Count

How can the birds you report seeing in just 15 minutes contribute to science and conservation? In past years, the Great Backyard Bird Count helped track rare influxes of snowy owls and the decline (and eventual rebound) of the American crow population. Stop by the visitor center to pick up everything you need to help assist Cornell University in their ongoing efforts to track species and learn how they have adapted—or not—to everything from climate change to suburban sprawl.
