Great Backyard Bird Count

Aurora Audubon Sanctuary

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a 4 day, world-wide, event sponsored by the National Audubon Society, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada where participants count birds in an area for at least 15 minutes or for as long as they wish and submit it on line to birdcount.org. You may count right out your kitchen window or join us for our winter bird survey where we do a 2 mile hike counting every bird we see or hear. The more eyes and ears the better! Meet at the parking lot on the north side of Pioneer trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.
