Meet-ups and Field Trips

Member Participation
Sarah of the Lansing Wild Birds Unlimited blog reminds us that the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) takes place February 12–15, 2010. This is a joint project between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, and Wild Birds Unlimited is a sponsor. Participants may also enter the GBBC photo contest by uploading images taken during the count. All participants are entered in a drawing for prizes that include bird feeders, binoculars, books, CDs, and many other great birding products. For more information about the GBBC, visit the official website.
