UPDATE: Christmas Bird Count 2020 Summary Results available online here.
Each year, Birds Canada & the National Audubon Society help coordinate & support more than 2,500 counts throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Whether you like exploring forests, fields, or prefer counting feeder birds from your window with a warm mug in hand, the Christmas Bird Count offers diverse opportunities for participation.
All Christmas Bird Count observations are used to study the health of winter bird populations over time & guide conservation strategies to help birds & their habitats.
