Great Backyard Bird Count at Long Point

We welcome you to come join us for the 2026 Great Backyard Bird Count. Launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) was the first online participatory-science project (also referred to as community science or citizen science) to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real time. In 2013, it became a global project through eBird.
