The Great Backyard Bird Count began in 1998 and quickly became one of The Backyard Naturalists favorite events and times of the year. Serving as a collaboration between the  National Audubon Society and Cornell’s Ornithology Lab, the Great Backyard Bird Count is a community science project to collect data on wild birds, on an international basis.

If you’re  a first-timer or new to birdwatching, it’s quite alright. Being a professional bird watcher certainly isn’t a requirement to participate. Beginning bird admirers will find it easier by using the Merlin Bird ID app. Previous participants can consider using the eBird mobile app or the eBird website.

Learn more about the Great backyard Bird Count via a free webinar February 16 at 2:00 p.m. EST. You can register for the webinar here.

Connect with the Backyard Naturalists on the Web, Facebook and Instagram.
