Community Science: Great Backyard Bird Count

Join the annual search to observe birds during this year's Great Backyard Bird Count, February 14-17. Library staff will be at the park on Sunday from 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. with a Naturalist from SD Bird Alliance (formerly San Diego Audubon Society) to coordinate bird viewing and help you learn to identify birds. Bird identification books and taxidermy specimens will be available for participants to view and Library staff will be there to assist with using bird identification apps. SD Bird Alliance will provide a scope that participants can use to get better views of birds.

Grand Caribe is loved by birds because of the native plants. SD Bird Alliance has been hard at work replanting the park with natives and you can help us plant some more at this event!

Bring sunscreen, a smartphone, water, and your love for birds! Download the free Merlin Bird ID app before you come so you can be ready to report the birds you see. Teens can earn volunteer hours for their participation.
