Great Backyard BOREAL Bird Count

February 23, 2006 | Dr. Jeff Wells

It's always in the top 10 most frequently reported species in the Great Backyard Bird Count.

Over 80% of its entire population nests in the Boreal--over 100 million birds!

About 226,000 of them were counted on this year's GBBC that took place from Feb. 17-20.

What bird am I talking about?
