Audubon Christmas Bird Count Kicks Off

It's time for citizen scientists to get out their binoculars.

Dec 14, 2020

The 121st annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) from the National Audubon Society begins on Dec. 14. Researchers are depending on tens of thousands of volunteers to grab their binoculars to help gather data about birds throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Experienced bird watchers and eager amateurs will be contributing to one of the longest-running wildlife surveys, which runs through Jan. 5. The CBC helps ornithologists study the movement, range, and fluctuation of bird populations across the continent, which enables them to better understand how bird species are faring and changing over time.
