Join bird watchers from coast to coast for the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). The GBBC is open to bird watchers of all ages and skill levels.

Participation is free and no registration is required. Participants can easily report what they see online at www.birdcount.org and get an instantaneous snapshot of their record. The website also highlights events going on in local communities, information on the GBBC photo contest, and real-time data from across the U.S. and Canada!

Last year, participants turned in more than 93,600 checklists online, creating the continent's largest instantaneous snapshot of bird populations ever recorded.
