The Great Backyard Bird Count is in its 25th year of annually counting and documenting birds in February to create a real-time snapshot of bird populations. Join us to learn more about this easy and fun way to watch, count and celebrate birds.
“The GBBC is an annual February event that has united birdwatchers from around the world for over 20 years. For one weekend, we ask citizen scientists to submit their bird observations from their home or in their community. My background is in environmental education, and the GBBC is a great way to engage backyard bird watchers and help guide people in creating bird-friendly homes and yards. I originally found my way to the Cornell Lab by working on a project called Habitat Network that taught people about creating habitat at home and in their communities to better support birds and other wildlife, and I feel like this is an important aspect of supporting our backyard birds.” — Becca Rodomsky Bish, project leader for the Great Backyard Bird Count
