"The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that
engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a
real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone
can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as
little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you
like each day of the event. It?s free, fun, and easy?and it helps the
birds."?

GBBC is a joint project of Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon, and Bird Studies Canada
