Great Backyard Bird Count Should Be "Finchy" and Fun
The 22nd Great Backyard Bird Count will take place from Friday, February 15 through Monday, February 18. Volunteers from around the world are invited to count the birds they see for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count, then enter their checklists at birdcount.org.
Fly with us to be Champions of the Flyway
Once in a while, we are invited to apply our skills and passion in a different realm. This is the spirit of unity that connects the world’s largest alliance for nature, BirdLife International. In March, Bird Studies Canada’s “Team Canucks” will proudly represent Canada for the first time ever at the biggest, friendliest birding race for conservation on Earth – Champions of the Flyway!
Join Us for the Next Great Backyard Bird Count!

How You can Help Wetlands
February 2nd is World Wetlands Day! This awareness day commemorates the 1971 adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It’s also the perfect time to reflect on the global importance of these ecosystems, and to renew our commitment to protecting wetlands in Canada.
