The Illinois Spring Bird Count (ISBC) is a yearly bird count that consists of volunteers conducting bird censuses in all 102 counties in Illinois. The results of the count are extremely helpful in understanding the impact of climate change on birds, and the changes in bird populations state-wide. Help is needed counting birds, flexible times and locations.

Chicago Audubon and the Forest Preserves of Cook County are co-hosting a Big Day bird count and walk at Thatcher Woods in River Forest. Join us to see how many birds we can count.
