Bison Backyard Bird Count

Here at the National Bison Range, you can get it on the action.

The Great Backyard Bird Count, a worldwide citizen science program conducted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, is this weekend. Pat Jamieson, outdoor recreation planner at the Bison Range, is giving birders and wannabe-birders an opportunity to participate.

Jamieson will lead a bird count along the refuge’s Nature Trail between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. Participants can take part in the whole count or any part – just stop in for as long as you want or can.

Entrance fees have been waived Saturday, Sunday and Monday for Presidents Day weekend.
