History
The Audubon Society has sponsored the Christmas Bird count for over 100 years. Begun in 1900, it originally was held as a protest to a holiday tradition known as the “Christmas side hunt,” where hunters competed to see who could return with the largest pile of feathered or furred quarry. Over the years, the Christmas Bird Count has shifted towards bird conservation action in partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://www.birds.cornell.edu
The data collected by volunteers during the CBC are compiled and submitted to Cornell to create the largest database of bird information in the northern hemisphere.
