The annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the nation’s longest-running community science bird project, where birders across the continent conduct a bird census that helps Audubon and other organizations assess the health of bird populations and guide conservation actions. This year’s count will be held Saturday, December 20th, 2025.
