February 14-17, 2020 marks the 23rd annual Great Backyard Bird Count! Take 15 minutes out of your day to appreciate your avian neighbors this weekend, and report your count through
eBird. In 2019,
over 6,600 species of birds were counted worldwide and Californians submitted over 10,000 checklists, but you can help make those numbers even higher this year! As always, if you happen to spot one of the 157 bird species tracked by CNDDB, fill out an Online Field Survey Form. Happy birding!
