The California Wildlife Center (CWC) participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count, where participants count the birds in their backyards for at least 15 minutes and submit their findings to gbbs.birdcount.org. According to the CWC, “This information helps scientists determine the health and locations of bird populations.”
The center’s staff and volunteers spotted a number of birds in their backyard, including a Turkey vulture, seven Band-tailed pigeons and a California Scrub.
