Great Backyard Bird Count

February 12-15

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a 4-day count held each February with the goal of getting a snapshot of bird numbers and distribution across the continent and in Hawaii.  As a participant, you commit to count birds anywhere for at least 15 minutes on one or more of the four count days.
