Join the 21st Annual Great Backyard Bird Count Feb. 16 - 19, 2018! Learn More...

Last year there were over 160,000 participants which created the largest instantaneous snapshot of global bird populations ever recorded. The GBBC or Great Backyard Bird Count is a fun way for everyone in the entire world to help The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and The Audubon Society expand their understanding of birds, how to protect them and the environment we share.

Count for as little as 15 minutes in your own backyard or where ever you might be and report what you see.

It's easy just go to Birdcount.org, add your location and upload your findings. You can also use the eBird app created by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. You don't have to be a birder to join in on the #GBBC and they will even help you identify the bird if you don't know what it is!
