NEW YORK (Reuters) - When the COVID-19 crisis hit, a Girl Scout troop in central New York thought it might have to scrap its group bird-counting trip altogether. Millers 11-year-old daughter Jordan, a Girl Scout Cadette, said she was worried and frightened when she first heard about the pandemic. It gives you something to focus on instead of having your mind going to all these fears, Jordan Miller said. Millers Girl Scout troop is just one of many organizations and individuals who are counting birds as part of Global Big Day. We definitely recognize that this will be the most city the City Nature Challenge has ever been, she said.
