Backyard Winter Bird Survey

Overview

39th Annual Backyard Winter Bird Survey: February 14–15, 2026

Join NH Audubon this winter for the 39th annual Backyard Winter Bird Survey, a statewide participatory science project that invites you to observe and report the birds visiting your backyard. Your observations help track winter bird populations and long-term trends across New Hampshire.

How it works: Watch the birds in your backyard for as long as you’d like during the survey weekend, record the species you see, and submit your observations using the online form. Whether you spend fifteen minutes or several hours, every count makes a difference.

Visit the brand new Backyard Winter Bird Survey website to explore stories of 20 focal species, identification tips, and practical advice on how to help winter birds thrive. You’ll also find past results, participant photos, and learn how your data supports our understanding of winter birds.
