Century Long Tradition of Keeping the Ledger for North Carolina Birds
The Christmas Bird Count is the longest-running wildlife census in the world. Every year in mid-December through early-January, each individual count takes place in a 15-mile-wide circle and is led by a compiler responsible for organizing volunteers and submitting observations to Audubon. In the 56 circles in North Carolina, participants tally all birds seen or heard that day—not just the species but total numbers to provide a clear idea of the health of that particular population.
Each year, North Carolina ranks in the top-performing states participating in the global community science event. North Carolina will record every individual bird and bird species seen in a specified area, contributing to a vast community science network that continues a tradition stretching back more than 100 years.
For a recap of last year's North Carolina count, see this writeup. A full summary of results in the US, Canada, and beyond is available here.
