Bird data reported by community scientists is central to Audubon’s legacy. The involvement of community scientists is fundamental to Audubon’s work in improving the lives of birds. The cornerstone is the Christmas Bird Count (CBC, photo above), begun in 1900, making it the longest-running community science program about birds. Audubon also collaborates with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada on The Great Backyard Bird Count, a global program for all who love birds. As a founding partner with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology on eBird, Audubon is a leader in the community science field. Norm will discuss these and several other projects to which the Chapter and individual members can contribute.
