About the Christmas Bird Count

Annual Christmas Bird Counts, sponsored by the National Audubon Society and conducted by volunteers, are held throughout the U.S., Canada, and many countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. The counts attempt to record every individual bird encountered within a defined 15-mile diameter — about 177 square miles — during one calendar day. Collectively, the Christmas Bird Counts are the largest and longest running citizen science project in the world, and the data from the CBCs have been used in numerous scientific studies.

Count Circle - The Richmond count circle covers Richmond and adjacent areas including Point Pinole, Point Molate, and the Miller-Knox Shoreline.
