Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count

February is National Bird Feeding Month, and there's no better way to celebrate than participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), February 14-17. The GBBC connects bird enthusiasts from around the world to observe and record data on more than 7,000 bird species, providing crucial insights into bird populations and their changing habitats.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder or new to the hobby, participating in GBBC is easy and rewarding. Simply set up your feeders, watch the birds that visit and count them. It can be a fun activity for your family, a project for your kids or grandkids or even an educational experience for a classroom. Every bird you count and report helps shape a snapshot of birds’ well-being.
