Become a Citizen Scientist:  Take Part in the Great Backyard Bird Count

When you feed birds in your backyard, it shows that you value having a daily relationship with nature and that you are willing to take action to foster it.

Like many of us, if you have been feeding birds for a while…you probably have a reputation. Your friends, neighbors, and relatives likely see you as a person who loves nature, and they value your willingness to share the enjoyment of “your” backyard birds at a moment's notice.

Your hobby and your backyard truly count as things that bring you joy and are important to you. The Great Backyard Bird Count takes place every February.

And when you participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count, it shows you're doing your part to help #SaveTheSongBirds. During this annual event sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited, simply count the birds at your feeders and report your findings. Your information becomes part of an extensive database that is analyzed by scientists to better understand important trends in bird populations, range expansions, habitat changes, and shifts in migration patterns

The Great Backyard Bird Count gives you the opportunity to make them count even more than ever by participating in this annual event which links citizens with scientists in an effort to collect important data about backyard birds.
 
The GBBC is a joint project of Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society and is sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited. It takes place each February. Count the birds in your backyard, and then simply report the information online.

Make your backyard count even more for the birds when you participate in the GBBC. And to ensure the birds all show up to be counted, visit our store for the widest variety of great bird food products!
