The 126th Annual Christmas Bird Count
December 14 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join the NYC Bird Alliance at Randall’s Island Park for this popular and accessible community science tradition, conducted across North America every year since 1900. The long-term data collected by Audubon Christmas Bird Count volunteers provides a fundamental way to understand the long-term health of bird populations—and has contributed to several recent impactful reports on bird decline in North America.
The Christmas Bird Count is a way that everyone can contribute to scientific knowledge that can help us protect birds. Participants range from expert ornithologists to beginning birders, following established protocols to ensure consistent data collection. Kids are welcome!
Location: Icahn Stadium
Dress warmly and don’t forget your binoculars! For more information, email [email protected].
