Started in 1900, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. Christmas Bird Counts are a program of the National Audubon Society, and happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Canadian counts are managed by Birds Canada. For more information about Christmas Bird Counts in Canada, see here .
