Great Backyard Bird Count. Tara Tanaka

The Great Backyard Bird Count, an annual, worldwide event, took place on February 14-17 this year, and over a quarter million lists have been submitted to eBird.org so far. The second day was a spectacular winter day in Florida, and Tara spent the first two and the last three hours of daylight in her photo blind, which is currently located in her backyard cypress swamp that she manages as a wildlife sanctuary. This video represents the highlights of five hours of viewing condensed into five minutes. Enjoy! Best viewed full screen, sound UP!
