Description

Each February, the world comes together for the love of birds. The Great Backyard Bird Count is an inter-organizational effort between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. Citizen scientists are encouraged to spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them online. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations.
Register in advance for this event as space is limited to ensure safe social distancing. Participants will be asked to follow CDC and local public health guidelines for COVID-19. We ask the public to be our partner in recreating responsibly, by adopting social distancing practices and by wearing a face covering when social distancing cannot be maintained.
