For 125 years, Audubon's Christmas Bird Count (CBC) has brought bird lovers together for the simple task of counting birds, which has grown into one of the world's most extensive community science programs.
By participating, you'll contribute to a legacy of understanding bird populations and how they respond to environmental shifts like climate change and habitat loss. The data collected by volunteers like you has been critical to scientific research, helping us uncover trends and protect birds across the Americas.
Whether you're a seasoned birder or new to the CBC, your involvement matters. Count birds, connect with nature, and contribute to vital science this December. Read on for reflections from Brooke Bateman, our Senior Director of Climate & Community Science, on this historic program's milestone anniversary. | | | | |
