Participating lead organizations
Spend time in your favorite places watching birds—then tell us about them! In as little as 15 minutes notice the birds around you. Identify them, count them, and submit your counts to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world. If you already use eBird or Merlin, your submissions over the 4 days count toward GBBC.
Connect to Birds, to Nature, and with Each Other: Share your birds with us February 13-16 and be a part of this global event.
Be Part of a Global Event: Watch observations roll in from around the world. Each submitted checklist becomes a glowing light on our bird sightings map.
