Caption: Naturalist Jodi Sulpizio points out a gold finch to Max Becket, 7 of Stewartstown, and his father Clarke while watching bird feeders at Nixon County Park Sunday, Feb. 20, 2005 during the Eighth Annual Backyard Bird Count. Volunteers sat in chairs along a large window at the park Saturday and Sunday, counting songbirds as they come to eat at the nature center feeders. The Eighth Annual Backyard Bird Count is sponsored by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. Data collected by volunteers is sent to a national database that records long-term population and distribution trends among North American Birds. John Pavoncello photo |
