Volunteers follow specified routes through a designated 15-mile diameter circle, counting every individual bird they see or hear. Participants join territory teams to record both species varieties and overall bird counts. Each team includes experienced birders who assist with identifying the birds spotted throughout the day.

Tips & Advice

  • Contact coordinator Jeff Cox before the count so he can assign you to a team.
  • Plan for a full day of birding, since volunteers count birds throughout the day.
  • Dress in warm layers because this early-winter count takes place outdoors across the count circle.
  • Bring binoculars if you have them to help spot birds along your assigned route.
  • Pay attention to every bird you see or hear, since the count records individuals, not only species.
