How is your #GreatBackyardBirdCount going? Thereโ€™s ONE MORE DAY to go!

Add your bird list to our Bird Count blog post* by Wednesday (12/17/21) for a chance to win prizes. Link via our profile. 

Tag us in your bird photos from this weekend, and weโ€™ll share them in our IG story. 

Our office bird nerd @luciwest has been counting and photographing up a storm. This is a house finch in her backyard tangerine tree counted yesterday. Clearly someone is matching their #HappierPlace to their outfit - or the other way around?
.
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
* This is, of course, in addition to adding your list to ebird, which is the whole point of the #GBBC.
Donโ€™t know what the GBBC bird count is all about? Check out our latest blog post for more information or go directly to bird count.org - the official website.

When was the last time you sent someone a handwrit When was the last time you sent someone a handwritten note? Today? Never? What is handwrit-what?
This seems to be a great time to pick up a pen and show someone you care - crossing the social distance, interrupting the digital overload, and taking a quick break from all that's unsettling right now.

Conveniently, we just released the 2nd edition of our sustainably-sourced, folded greeting cards with envelopes โ€“ featuring our original flower photography (and a few cool birds).

How do people with disabilities (get to) experienc How do people with disabilities (get to) experience nature? What can we do to make nature more accessible to people with disabilities? How can we help all people feel welcome and safe in nature?
.
Let's try this:

1. Highlighting accessible PLACES, like the observation tower at Shark Valley (Everglades National Park) reached via the accessible tram tour and then this ramp.

2. Highlighting PEOPLE with disabilities and listening to what their  experiences are like and how we can help them enjoy the outdoors.

3. PLEDGE to do what we can to make the world a happier place for everyone.
.
Please be in touch if you are a person with a disability who can write about your experience and suggestions - or if you're already an outdoor activist, let us feature you in a People Profile. 
.
Everyone else: leave a comment with your recommendations of places and organizations that are making nature more accessible to people with disabilities.

"River of Grass" is another name for the Everglade "River of Grass" is another name for the Everglades. But we like: "River of Gators".
To gaze straight into the heart of the Everglades and a few gator and bird eyes, you should take the Shark Valley Trail.
