The annual Great Backyard Bird Count of 2023 is being held Friday to Monday, Feb. 17-20, to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world. The event is a combined effort between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. People are invited to count birds in their backyards, local parks or wherever they spot them and submit their observations online. Visit www.birdcount.org/participate for information. To celebrate the global Great Backyard Bird Count, Oakland County Parks and Recreation is hosting an event, 'Birds & Beans' from 10-11 a.
