You can participate in The Great Backyard Bird Count between February 18 and 21 by observing and counting birds for a minimum of 15 minutes then going to
http://www.birdcount.org/ to record your results. It's a great family activity and a chance to learn about the local environment and the library has many wonderful bird books to guide you.
