Watch Birds and Share the Joy:

How to Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count

 

February 17-20, 2023

​

Every February, people of all backgrounds all around the world spend time watching and counting birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). And when the latest science shows that two-thirds of North American birds are threatened by climate change, there is no better time to get involved. This annual event is sponsored by the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Join the count running from February 17-20, and celebrate the birds near you while contributing to the science that helps us protect the places they need.
