Citizen Science - Great Backyard Bird Count
Join with the Audubon Society, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and others for the
Great Backyard Bird Count. The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day
event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a
real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can
participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15
minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the
event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds.
