Suitable for all levels of experience, the GBBC is a chance to share the joy of birdwatching with a friend or family member. We have a full blog to help first timers prepare for the event, including count information, resources, and a webinar invite. So go on and invite them along, share these tips, and then get out there to count together next weekend!
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird enthusiasts of all ages around the world in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are. Anyone can participate, from beginners to experts. You can count for as little as 15 minutes on a single day, or for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy – and it helps the birds! The Great Backyard Bird Count is a joint program of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon with Canadian partner Birds Canada.
