The Great Backyard Bird Count is a free, enjoyable, and uncomplicated event that involves bird enthusiasts of all ages in tallying birds to generate a real-time overview of bird populations. Participants are encouraged to observe and count birds for at least 15 minutes (or longer) on any of the four days of the event, sharing their findings on birdcount.org. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, anyone can join the Great Backyard Bird Count from their backyard or any location worldwide.Every checklist submitted during the GBBC aids researchers at Audubon, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Birds Canada in gaining insights into bird well-being and environmental conservation. In a recent instance, over 300,000 participants reported their bird observations online, establishing the most extensive immediate snapshot of global bird populations ever documented.
