Backyard Winter Bird Survey

Are you a backyard bird enthusiast? Do you love watching the birds at your feeder?

Join NH Audubon this winter for the 39th annual Backyard Winter Bird Survey on February 14th and 15th, 2026! This statewide participatory science project invites you to observe and report the birds visiting your backyard, helping track winter bird populations and long-term trends across New Hampshire. 

Visit our new project website to learn more, participate, and explore 35+ years of data.

Backyard Winter Bird Survey Website

From bird identification help and stories of winter bird trends to feeding tips and advice for supporting wildlife in your backyard, there’s something for everyone. You can also submit your bird observations and photos online using our new, easy-to-use form under the “Submit Your Data” tab. 

Submit your data

Participants (like you) have been the backbone of this project’s success since it began, and we’re truly grateful for your support. While a donation is not required to participate, any contribution you choose to make will go directly toward sustaining and growing the Backyard Winter Bird Survey. Your generosity helps keep this important work going!

support this project!
