Loudoun Wildlife’s Christmas Bird Count
The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is an annual national event the National Audubon Society started in 1899. (Read the full history here.) Whether you’re a beginner or an expert birder, the CBC is a fun way to go out and document how the birds in Loudoun County are doing.
Participants are added to teams that count in a sector of the count circle that the Central Loudoun Christmas Count covers. Loudoun Wildlife has been contributing to the CBC since 1997, and our 2025 count took place on Monday, December 29. Read the full report and see some photos here.
Read about our previous counts and explore the data going back to 1997 on the Christmas Bird Count Data and Reports page.
The 2026 CBC will take place on Monday, December 28. Look for more information later in the year about how you can participate!
