Bird Counts

Bird counts are organized efforts to record the number and types of birds in specific areas over a set period. They help scientists and conservationists monitor bird populations, track changes over time, and identify issues affecting bird species. Participants often follow standardized protocols to ensure data consistency. These counts can be done casually by nature enthusiasts or professionally, contributing valuable information for understanding bird health, migration patterns, and ecosystem health. Overall, bird counts provide essential insights that support efforts to protect bird populations and their habitats.
