And, around the world, whether you're a a resident of Columbia/Adair County, a neighbor, frequent visitor, or one who is vicariously involved in the daily lives and issues on the internet, we hope you'll find follow the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count, February 17-20, 2012, with us. It's fun. -CM. Seen in the ColumbiaMagazine group on Flickr.
