A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this year’s Backyard Winter Bird Survey!
We had record-breaking online participation and an incredible number of photo submissions. We’re so grateful for this amazing community.
There were even a few exciting rarities reported, including a Chipping Sparrow, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Dickcissel! Stay tuned as we compile the final results. It takes time to enter the paper data sheets, verify rare sightings, and crunch all the numbers.
In the meantime, check out our photo gallery from the Survey weekend!
