New York City Audubon plays its part in the national survey of birds that takes place every year.

The 120th annual Christmas Bird Count will soon be under way nationwide, and in all five boroughs of New York City. NYC Audubon is responsible for reporting data for the Lower Hudson Count Circle, which includes all of Manhattan and parts of New Jersey. And we host Manhattan's Central Park compilation gathering at the Central Park Arsenal each year, a festive event! RSVP for the Central Park count on Eventbrite.
