The Christmas Bird Count started in 1900 and is the longest running citizen science project in North America. Christmas Bird Counts are conducted within defined areas (count circles) on a single day between Dec 14 and Jan 5. Birds Canada coordinates count circles in Canada, and many local Alberta counts are organized by Nature Alberta Member Clubs! By participating you will contribute data that helps researchers assess population and distribution trends of birds.
You can volunteer as a feeder watcher, from the comfort and warmth of your own home, or as a bush beater by coordinating efforts with others. Connect with your local count circle coordinator to sign up.
