Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count
Volunteers have been counting birds on the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) for over 100 years, and their contributions represent a tremendously valuable resource for learning more about bird behavior and bird conservation. Count volunteers follow specified routes through a designated 15-mile (24-km) diameter circle, counting every bird they see or hear all day.
All individual CBCs are conducted in the period from December 14 to January 5 each season, and each count is conducted in one calendar day. You can look up the results of this year’s count or explore results from previous years. The tools on the CBC webpages let you make maps of bird distributions, construct graphs of species trends over time, or see the raw count data.
