Big Garden Bird Watch

Okay, why don’t we have these kind of events nationwide over here? This would be awesome!

BBC: “UK’s bird watching event begins”

Thousands of people are expected to spend an hour this weekend taking part in a national survey of garden birds.

The Big Garden Bird Watch, organised every year by the RSPB, aims to find out which species are the most common visitors to UK gardens.

Last year, a record-breaking 470,000 people took part the survey and counted eight million birds in 270,000 gardens.

Even if just California did this, it’d be cool.
