Welcome

Ridge Rangers will participate in this nationwide event put on by Audubon Society. This will be the 28th annual Great Backyard Bird Count but the first time Ridge Rangers will participate. The goal is see and record as many bird species around the Royce unit as possible. It is a great time to explore this FWC management area and contribute to a nationwide birding survey.
