It’s time for the Great Backyard Bird Count

The 17th Annual GBBC will be held Friday, February 14th through Monday, February 17th 2014

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 bird populations.

It’s free, fun, and easy. Each checklist submitted during the GBBC helps researchers at the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and the environment we share.

Join thousands of other birdwatchers of all ages, novices and experts and contribute to our knowledge of Birds.

GBBC participants are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the event and report their sightings online at www.birdcount.org.
