About this opportunity

The Audubon Society runs community science programs year-round, including the Christmas Bird Count, the Great Backyard Bird Count, and local breeding bird atlases. No birding experience needed — beginner-friendly outings are always available.

What to expect

  • Morning outings, typically 3–5 hours
  • Grouped with an experienced birder who helps with identifications
  • Binoculars helpful but not required (loaners sometimes available)
