The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It's free, fun, and easy-and it helps the birds."

Our smallest white-headed gull, the Mew Gull is closely related to the Ring-billed Gull. This bird breeds in the extreme northwest of the continent, and this individual was photographed on the Campbell River of British Columbia.
