Become a community scientist and help count birds in your neighborhood or on a count team for the FIFTIETH annual Summer Bird Count!

Held on two days in mid-June, the scope of the Summer Bird Count is similar to the Christmas Bird Count in its count circle extent covering Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and parts of Westchester County NY. Not only does it provide a good excuse to spend a day birding in warm weather, but it is also a very important way for researchers to learn important information about the locations of breeding birds.

To join a counting team in your neighborhood or become a Team Captain, please contact count compiler Tom Burke at the lines of contact below:

If you would like to join in counting efforts at the Greenwich Audubon Center on Saturday, June 8th at 6 a.m. contact Ryan MacLean at ryan.maclean@audubon.org.

The Count Compilation & 50th Anniversary celebration will be held (weather permitting) at Greenwich Audubon on the Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch Lawn on Sunday, June 8th at 2 p.m.
