The freezing weather is over, the sun is shining and the outdoors await.
There are two great events this weekend.
The biggest one is the Great Backyard Bird Count, which is a major mid-winter bird survey that occurs Feb. 13-16 and has become a global event.
Survey birds in your backyard or anywhere else and enter the data in ebird.
If you do not have an account, set up one. It’s free.
The site allows you to post photos, too.
Meanwhile, during the same weekend, Florida state parks are offering free admission in honor of George Washington’s birthday.
Find your park and plan your visit at FloridaStateParks.org. To learn more about Florida’s role in America’s 250th anniversary, visit America250FL.com.
