The 2024 Christmas Bird Count for the Vancouver Count Circle will take place from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, 14th December.

The Christmas Bird Count helps track long-term trends in Vancouver’s bird populations and is part of the Audubon Society’s Community Science Initiative.  Long-term data from these counts have been used over the years to support avian research, protection, and management.  Participating in the Christmas Bird Count is also a good way to enjoy birding with others and to learn more about the birds we all admire and enjoy.

Nature Vancouver is calling all birders to participate in the 2024 CBC, the 68^th year of the Christmas Bird Count for Vancouver. Birders of all levels of ability are welcome to participate.

We’ve created an information and signup portal to make it easier to coordinate the 2024 CBC and to make information such as maps, data sheets, etc. available to everyone participating. Please go to 2024 CBC – Vancouver Circle to sign up (there are maps there to help you figure out where you’d like to help), please forward this email to other birders you know who may wish to participate, and email Peter McNamee if you have any questions at all about the 2024 CBC.

Thank you for stepping up – your energy and passion for birds and birding are very appreciated.
