Become a community scientist by participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count. This is a four-day long event hosted by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, The Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. This year, it is taking place February 14-17, 2025 where birders of all ages can participate by counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are. This helps experts document the species and numbers in the area.

It's time for the 2nd round of bat counts! The more counts you do the better. Bats may move around, it's best to count them a few times! Please continue to submit your data to the program. These numbers are helping us understand what is happening with our Alberta Bat populations!
