The William Smith Inn

Count our friends!

Are you participating in this year’s GLOBAL BIG DAY on Saturday, May 9th? The Global Big Day is an annual event organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, whereby people worldwide count the birds they see and report their observations online at eBird.org or on the eBird mobile app. According to the Cornell Lab, 1.8 million people participated in last year’s Global Big Day event and an all-time high 7,931 bird species were reported!

Regardless if you are at home, in a park, anywhere, you can count the birds you see. Our friend Deb sent us this photo of a male Baltimore Oriole that she has been seeing in her yard. The bird stopped by her WBU Small High Perch Hummingbird Feeder to sip nectar. https://order.wbu.com/woburn/bird-feeders/hummingbird-feeders/small-high-perch-hummingbird-feeder/350

According to Deb, the oriole has also been sipping nectar and eating jelly from her WBU Oriole Feeder https://order.wbu.com/woburn/bird-feeders/oriole-feeders/oriole-feeder/374

I hope Deb participates in this year’s Global Big Day! Deb’s husband, Bob, is our store’s Shipping Manager. Deb and Bob have many WBU feeders that help attract a lot of birds to their yard!

If you decide to participate on Saturday, please let us know what birds you see and, if you take photos, please share them with us! Happy Birding!

Good morning!

Even the birds are enjoying breakfast at The William Smith Inn!
