Arizona Christmas Bird Counts
December 14, 2024 - January 4, 2025
With counts dating back to 1900, the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is a time-tested way for birders of all skill levels to contribute valuable data that helps us better understand the status and distribution of North America's birdlife. AZFO assists the nationwide effort by coordinating the schedule of Arizona's more than 35 counts.
Don't let the Christmas Bird Counts sneak up on you! Visit our CBC page at the link below to learn about counts near you, explore resources, and sign up to put your birding skills to good use this holiday season.
