From December 14 through January 5 each year, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas take part in an adventure that has become a family tradition among generations. For over one hundred and thirteen years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to go out and count birds on the annual Christmas Bird Count. Learn how the count started from one of it's most dedicated volunteers.
Chan Robbins has participated in 412 Audubon Christmas Bird Counts, with his first one taking place in 1934! Watch and enjoy a life dedicated to birds.
