Great Backyard Bird Count Marks Its 20th Year
The Great Backyard Bird Count is a great way for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with nature. Participation is free and easy. Bird watchers count the birds they see for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count, then enter their checklists at birdcount.org. All the data contributes to a snapshot of bird distribution and help scientists see changes over the past 20 years. Bird watchers from over 100 countries participated in last year’s count, documenting over 5,000 species-- nearly half the possible bird species in the world-- on more than 147,000 bird checklists.

Since 2006, tens of thousands of stunning images have also been submitted to the GBBC photo contest. For the 20th anniversary, the public is invited to vote for their favorite top photo from each of the past 11 years in a special album they will find on the GBBC website home page. Voting takes place during the four days of the GBBC.
