Christmas Bird Count

Sunday, December 14, 2025

9:00 a.m.2:00 p.m.

The 126th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count—the nation’s longest-running Community-Science bird project—will soon be underway nationwide, and in all five boroughs of New York City.

Anyone can participate, even beginner birders! The data collected over the past century by volunteer observers, ranging from experienced ornithologists to casual nature enthusiasts, allow researchers to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America.

This family-friendly activity is a great way to explore our city’s natural areas while contributing to valuable scientific research, and we encourage all to participate!

Registration is required through NYC Bird Alliance and opens in early November. Lunch will not be provided, so please bring your own!

Location: Icahn Stadium
