Christmas Bird Count
Established in 1900, the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the longest running community science survey in North America. Birds Connect Seattle has coordinated the Seattle CBC for over 90 years! Approximately 250 volunteers survey the count circle (15 miles in diameter) centered in downtown Seattle, to identify and count anything with feathers and a pulse.

dBird is an online tool that helps us track human-related causes of bird mortality and injury.
Learn more or report a dead or injured bird.
Birds Connect Seattle is grateful for support from 4Culture, whose funding helps expand access to science and technology experiences for the public. Through this support, we are able to share our scientific and cultural understanding of birds with communities across King County.
