What Does GBBC Stand For?

GBBC stands for Great Backyard Bird Count

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is an annual citizen science project that invites people to observe and document bird species in their backyards, local parks, and natural areas. Conducted over a four-day period in February, participants report bird sightings to contribute to a larger understanding of bird populations and their distribution. The data collected help researchers track changes in bird populations over time, informing conservation efforts and enhancing public engagement in wildlife appreciation and environmental stewardship.
