Join the world in connecting to birds February 13–16, 2026.

The biggest birding weekend of the year is almost here!

Participation is easy! All you have to do is spend time in your favourite places watching birds—then tell us about them! In as little as 15 minutes notice the birds around you. Identify them, count them, and submit your counts to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world. If you already use eBird or Merlin, your submissions over the 4 days count toward GBBC.

No registration required to participate. For full info and to find a community event near you, visit birdcount.org
