Connect to Birds, to Nature, and with Each Other

Birds are everywhere, all the time, doing fascinating things. Join us, February 14-17, 2025, for the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), when the world comes together for the love of birds.

Watch birds in your backyard or anywhere else, be part of this 20+ year tradition, and help provide scientists with a snapshot of bird populations. Participate from anywhere in the world. Click to learn more about the GBBC.

Spend time in your favorite places watching birds - then tell us about them! In as little as 15 minutes notice the birds around you. Identify them, count them, and submit them to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world.

Join us on Thursday, February 6 for an in-person pre-count meeting and presentation to learn more about the GBBC and how to enter your GBBC sightings online using eBird. We will meet at the Oshkosh Food Co-op, 155 Jackson St., Oshkosh from 6:00 pm-7:00 pm.
