The Great Backyard Bird Count

The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual event where bird enthusiasts and casual observers alike record the types and numbers of birds they see in their local outdoor spaces over a set period. Organized by bird conservation groups, it helps collect valuable data on bird populations and migration patterns. Participants can contribute using a simple checklist online or on paper, enhancing scientific understanding of bird distribution and trends. This citizen science effort promotes awareness, conservation, and enjoyment of avian biodiversity for people of all backgrounds.
