Love birdwatching? Consider signing up to participate in a National Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count near you! 

Data collected from the Christmas Bird Count helps inform ornithologists and conservation biologists about how the birds of the Americas are faring over time.

The Christmas Bird Count will be conducted from December 14 through January 5.

Counts take place in established areas that are a 15-mile wide circle, and are organized by a count compiler.

All participants must make arrangements to participate in advance with the circle compiler within an established circle, but anyone can participate.

If you are a beginning birder, you will be able to join a group that includes at least one experienced birdwatcher!

To learn more or to find a count near you, visit the National Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count website.
