- February Bird Programs at Congaree
Would you like to learn to identify some of South Carolina's winter birds? Would you like to help collect scientific data? Then come to Congaree National Park for the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count programs!
The Old-Growth Bottomland Forest Research and Education Center at Congaree National Park and the Friends of Congaree Swamp are hosting several birding programs as part of the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/). This event is an international effort to identify and count birds across the continent on February 12-15, 2010. Count results present a "snapshot" of bird populations across North America and allow scientists to monitor changes through the years. Last year, citizen scientists across North America counted 11,558,638 individual birds representing 620 species! (more pdf 40KB)
