On February 14-17, the NC Science Trail is going to the birds!
2025 marks the 28th anniversary of the Great Backyard Bird Count. In North Carolina, we celebrate by participating in the NC Bird Count – a citizen science program for all ages created by Science Across NC. During this event, everyone is invited to report observations of their local birds directly to a global science platform called eBird. These checklists help scientists to track important changes in bird numbers over time.
