It’s the Christmas Bird Count! One of the world’s greatest citizen science endeavors! All you need is an eBird account, and the Merlin app is really helpful. I don’t know if I would’ve ever gotten into birding without the Merlin app. It really flattens the learning curve and makes birding much more accessible for everyone
The GCBC lasts until January 5th, and all you have to do is create an eBird account, take some time outside between now and the 5th, and record in eBird the birds you can clearly identify. Our data actually makes a difference.
Remember, what’s good for birds is good for all of us.
