For over a century the Christmas Bird Count tradition has been a popular way to meet other birders and help with Audubon’s longest-running community science program. All CBC count results are carefully vetted and added to the growing database of bird distribution data, but observers of all experience levels are welcome. Christmas Bird Counts take place every winter from December 14 through January 5. Each CBC covers a circular area 15 miles in diameter and runs for one day. There are over a dozen CBCs in our Chapter’s extent!
