Counting in Canada? Find a Count Near You!

It's time to plan for the Christmas Bird Count again! Every year between December 14 and January 5, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas help monitor populations of our wintering birds - including more than 13,000 Canadian birders in almost 450 count circles.

Visit Bird Studies Canada's website to find a count near you. If you'd like to set up a new count in your community, contact Canadian Christmas Bird Count coordinator Dick Cannings (dcannings@birdscanada.org). To read about last year's count results, including regional summaries, the Canadian summary, high counts, and other features, visit the Audubon website.

Because we no longer charge mandatory participation fees, Bird Studies Canada relies on donations to make the Christmas Bird Count possible here in Canada. Your gift is tax-deductible and directly funds national coordination, data collection, and analysis. Please donate online or mail a cheque to Bird Studies Canada with a note that the funds are for the Christmas Bird Count. We really appreciate your support!
