FOR THE LOVE OF BIRDS, THE WORLD COMES TOGETHER FOR 4 DAYS.
For the past 23 years, people from all over the world have made their way outdoors to identify and count birds.
The Great Backyard Bird Count—often called the “GBBC” for short—is led by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with Canadian partner, Bird Studies Canada.

Your observations are important because no single scientist or team of scientists could hope to capture so much information about birds around the world in only four days.
2020 was another record-breaker in the history of the Great Backyard Bird Count,
attracting more participants than ever before.
