Between December 14 and January 5, tens of thousands of bird-loving volunteers will participate in Christmas Bird Counts across the Western Hemisphere and contribute to one of the longest-running wildlife censuses in the world. The data collected during this community science effort will help identify trends and inform strategies to protect birds and the places they need. The Audubon CBC is open to birders of all skill levels, and Audubon’s free Bird Guide app makes it easier to learn more. To sign up for an Audubon CBC and ensure your bird count data make it into the official Audubon database, please find the circle nearest you and register with your local Audubon CBC compiler using this map. All Audubon CBC data must be submitted through the official compiler to be added to the long-running census. For more information and to find a count near you, visit www.christmasbirdcount.org.
