Count your birds

Looking for a real science project to do with your kids this summer? Sign up for "My Yard Counts." MYC is a new citizen science project from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

To participate, you fill out a short questionnaire about your yard, and then do a 20-minute bird count once a week and submit your count to the lab. The lab is trying to figure how yards help support the larger ecosystem and improve bird health.
