The Edmonton Nature Club is pleased to sponsor the Edmonton count. This traditional citizen-science project contributes data to an immense database managed and analyzed by Bird Studies Canada and the National Audubon Society. Thousands of Christmas Counts occur around the world. Edmonton, Alberta has been continuously participating since 1955 and holds the world record for number of participants!
Come out for the count!
Feeder watchers tally birds in their yard and teams of counters (referred to as bush beaters) scour the city, on a specified date in December, to gather information on bird numbers. Hundreds of people participate in Edmonton. If you would like to join us for the Count check out the Participate page to get all the details.
The Edmonton Nature Club may host Count related presentations. Visit the Edmonton Nature Club (ENC) Calendar for listings.
