The longest running citizen science survey
in the world

- 108 year old nation-wide database

- Seattle Audubon has coordinated the Seattle CBC for 80 years!

Grab your checklists, wool gloves and binoculars on the last Saturday of December!  Small teams search for birds throughout the greater Seattle area, Mercer Island, and greater Bellevue. The Count starts in early morning (with some teams listening for owls in darkness) to late afternoon.  Experienced birders, neighborhood residents, and newcomers are all welcome. A required $5 participation fee covers the cost of compilation of data at the national level.

The next Seattle CBC will be on Saturday, January 1 2011!

If you have any questions, please contact Adam Sedgley, Science Manager at 206-985-6993 or adams@seattleaudubon.org
