For the Love of Birds
Look for Birds in Winter
Winter is a great time to look for birds! You will see birds that live where you live year-round and other species that move in temporarily (migrate) from other places. Bird Watching is easy, fun to do alone, or with others, and can be done anywhere you find birds. And, birds are everywhere! Plus, you can help promote greater conservation by joining the Great Backyard Bird Count February 14–17, 2025. Learn more at thegreenhour.org/ activity/for-the-love-of-birds
