It was a weekend for the birds at Dunwoody Nature Center, which hosted a portion of the 19th annual Great American Backyard Bird Count.

Boy Scouts Aaron Griffith, 14, Raza Zaidi, 11, and David Lord, 13, keep an eye or two open and a pair of binoculars handy on Saturday, Feb. 13, as they catalog birds at the Dunwoody Nature Center during the Great American Backyard Bird Count.
