National
Audubon Christmas Bird Count
More than 50,000 observers participate each year in
this all-day census of early-winter bird populations. The results
of their efforts are compiled into the longest running database
in ornithology, representing over a century of unbroken data on
trends of early-winter bird populations across the Americas. Simply
put, the Christmas Bird Count, or "CBC", is citizen science
in action.
