GBBC Press Release mentions Gautier

January 30, 2006 - Great Backyard Bird Count Press Release

Great Backyard Bird Count article from the February 17th 2006 JACKSON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEWSLETTER

COME COUNT BIRDS WITH A BUDDY IN GAUTIER

The ninth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is taking place
February 17-20 and the city of Gautier Mississippi invites its local citizens to participate in this nationwide event for the third consecutive year. On Saturday, February 18, beginning at 9:00 a.m., the Mississippi Coast Audubon Society will host a bird identification clinic at Gautier High School, featuring a demonstration on how to participate in this fun bird watching event. The clinic will begin with a brief ceremony to recognize the city of Gautier and Gautier High school for their participation in the GBBC for the previous two years – in 2005, Gautier residents submitted more checklist than any other U.S. town.

“The city of Gautier and Gautier High School have been wonderful partners and supporters of the
GBBC over the past few years,” said Mark LaSalle, Coast Project Director for Audubon Mississippi.
“They both have dedicated themselves to helping Audubon encourage children and families to embrace and enjoy birds and wildlife in their backyards and communities. Both the city and the high school embody the spirit of Citizen Science and community pride that we all share in this worthy cause.”

Run by the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the GBBC invites individuals and families to “Count Birds with a Buddy” by observing the variety of bird species in their community. Participants note the highest number of each species they see at any one time and enter their sightings online at www.birdsource.org/gbbc to contribute to this nationwide and content-wide mid-winter snap- shot of birds across North America.

Additionally this year, the GBBC is partnering with Take Pride in America , an organization within the Department of the Interior which encourages and recognizes volunteerism on public lands. Take Pride in America is encouraging participation in the GBBC to help spread the message of stewardship and caring for our public lands across the country.

For more information about the GBBC or the clinic, please contact Mark LaSalle at 228-475-0825 or mlasalle@audubon.org, or visit www.msaudubon.org or www.birdsource.org/gbbc.
