Christmas Bird Count (CBC) 2025
Started in 1900, the CBC is North America’s longest running citizen science project. Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. Each CBC is conducted on a single day between Dec. 14th and Jan. 5th. Counts are carried out within defined diameter circles that stay the same from year to year. They are organized, usually as group efforts at the local level, often by a birding club or naturalist organization.
Kitchener CBC
The Kitchener count will occur on the 20th of December, 2025 and takes place in snow, rain, or shine. All birds observed within the 15-mile diameter circle during the 24 hours are counted, but even a few minutes at home spent watching a feeder is valuable information.
If your backyard is inside the Kitchener circle and you are willing to count feeder birds on that day, contact Ethan at cbckitchener@gmail.com.
