SUMMARY:Back Yard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:If the Christmas Bird Count was just too cold and daunting for you\, February 14-17 offers a more agreeable opportunity and a second chance to get involved in Community Science. The Great Backyard Bird Count\, sponsored by Cornell Labs and Birds Canada\, invites you to sit back with a hot cup of Joe in your snuggly slippers and count the birds you see in your own backyard. Over the four days of the count\, spend at least 15 minutes on one day to record what you see happening out your window. Share your Merlin Bird ID(s)\, eBird checklist(s)\, or photos\, sounds\, or videos and join hundreds of thousands of others to capture a global snapshot of what is happening with birds as they prepare for spring migrationIn 2023\, more than half a million people globally participated from 200 countries. Their efforts identified 7\,538 distinct species\, more than two-thirds of the birds that exist. You too can be part of this amazing global phenomenon.Click here to learn more and join the fun: https://www.birdcount.org/about/

SUMMARY:Chautauqua/Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:THIS TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SNOW GEESE. \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required. No limit to the number of participantsThe Snow Geese in February can number in the hundreds of thousands in the lakes surrounding the Illinois River south of Peoria!  It is an amazing sight to see them all take off and land.  Join Bob Fisher in witnessing this spectacle.

Participant information will be shared for those who want to coordinate carpooling. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7ANewvP99fhnoDGq5.   \n\n\n\n*The trip is dependent on weather conditions and arrival of the Snow Geese! Bob will be in touch several days prior to confirm the trip. An alternate fieldtrip may be planned if the geese are not present.Leader: Bob Fisher\, 630-985-2956\, bfisher928@aol.com
