Each February, for four days the world comes together to admire birds during the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). Participants spend time in their favorite places observing and counting as many birds as they can find and report their findings. This helps scientists better understand global bird populations. This year's count is February 16-19—we hope you'll join us this year!

Menunkatuck’s partner in the UrbanScapes Native Plant Nursery has organized family-friendly urban bird counts in three New Haven parks on Saturday, February 17.

Meet at West River Memorial Park at 9:00 (map), Beaver Pond Park at 10:30 (map), or the Learning Corridor at noon. (map)

Menunkatuck will be at West River where we have done earlier GBBCs. Please join us there.

Youth and adult binoculars available. Hot chocolate and muffins will be provided.
