HLBWS Members: Let’s get started with a “Power Hour of Birdwatching” while staying within public health guidelines! On September 2, 2021, from your back porch, balcony, yard or your nearest open green space (maintaining social distance as appropriate), identify as many bird species as you can and count the number of each species you see in your chosen area. Send the following information to Greg White via email by 9:15 a.m.: location where you birded, amount of time you birded (e.g., “1 hour”), the species of birds observed and the count of each species observed. You are welcome to use eBird to record your observations; please email the list to yourself, and then forward the list to Greg. By way of reminder: Count the highest number of individuals seen at one time during the observation period, as well as any clearly different individuals.

Greg will share a summary of the results during the monthly Zoom meeting, which starts at 10:00 a.m. that day.
