Started in 1900, the Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is North America's longest-running Citizen Science project. People in more than 2000 locations throughout the Western Hemisphere participate.

The information collected by thousands of CBC volunteer participants forms one of the largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used by conservation biologists, environmental planners, and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds.

The 125th Annual CBC in each Count Circle will be held on a day between December 14, 2024 and January 5, 2025. Effort for each circle is organized by a compiler, backed by a group of supporters to organize field parties and feeder watchers.

Kingston, NS held it's 56th Annual CBC on Dec. 21, 2023. The date for our next count, probably in December 2024, will be decided in the November or December prior to the event. If you would like to take part please contact the compiler, Larry Neily, at larry.neily@hotmail.com.
