New to the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Count?
Before you register: 
  • Please use the Zone Map to  determine which zone you count in.
  • There are 2 options for new participants, scroll down to    read the details.   
  • Approx   6    emails are sent per year. We do not  sell,  share, rent or trade   your email address, we use it only to communicate about the count. 
  • Each zone  is organized by  a  Zone Captain.  Your zone captain may contact you via email or phone. 
 Option 1 "Feeder Watcher"  
  • If your home is within the  boundaries of a  Count  Circle, then you can stay home and  keep   a  list of species and estimated number of birds that visit your  feeder(s) for  a  couple of hours on count day. 
  • Register as a  "Feeder Watcher" prior to the count  day. 
  • Details on how to count in your yard are found on the How to Count page.
  • Send your data using the online form  on the afternoon of the count  day unless advised otherwise by your captain.

 Option 2  "Bush  Beater"  
  • Every zone has teams of  "Bush  Beaters"  to cover designated areas by vehicle  or on foot, keeping a list   of species and numbers of birds seen. 
  • ​NOTE: Not all zones   have room for additional bush beaters. 
  • If you are a beginning  birder, you  will be able to  join a group that includes   at least one experienced  birdwatcher. 
  • Team data will be  collected  by the zone captain    according to their preference.
  • Many zone captains will have a morning meeting place to hand out  group  assignments and answer any questions.
