North Carolina Christmas Bird Counts and South Carolina Christmas Bird Counts

Take part in National Audubon's 112th Christmas Bird Count this season. The count period runs each year from December 14 through January 5. Look through the list of counts below and join the fun! If you'd like to participate in a count, contact the organizer listed in the table. Christmas Bird Counts are an excellent chance to join fellow birders of all experience levels, and allow you to participate in a tradition that dates back to 1900! Note that most counts require participants to pay a nominal fee charged by the National Audubon Society for record keeping and administrative tasks related to the counts.

The 112th Christmas Bird Count is over, but plan ahead for next year. Most of these counts are repeated each year.

To locate a count in your area, look at the map of all Christmas Bird Counts in the Carolinas.

If you are a count coordinator and your count is not listed here, please send the date to Kent Fiala. Also please send any date changes or corrections.

Learn about the Christmas Bird Count at the official Audubon site, at wikipedia, or everywhere.
