Register for AT sessions on February 5 or 12 with instructions.

How to Participate in the Count

Photos clockwise from top left: April Gaydos in Mexico, Sophie Skipper in United States, Pipope Panitchpakdi in Thailand, andMiguel Angel Montenegro in Bolivia.

Participating is easy, fun to do alone or with others, and can be done anywhere you find birds.

Step 1: Decide where you will watch birds.

Step 2: Watch birds for 15 minutes or more, at least once over the four days, February 14–17, 2025.

Step 3: Identify all the birds you see or hear within your planned time/location and use the best tool for sharing your bird sightings:

  • If you are a beginning bird admirer and new to bird identification, try using the Merlin Bird ID app to tell us what birds you are seeing or hearing.
  • If you have participated in the count before and want to record numbers of birds, try the eBird Mobile app or enter your bird list on the eBird website (desktop/laptop).
