Global Shorebird Counts encourages worldwide participation in observing and documenting shorebirds to support awareness, education, and citizen science engagement across migratory flyways.
From 1–7 September, birdwatchers around the world will count shorebirds at their local sites, adding another year of observations to a growing record — and another year to a community built around them.
The Global Shorebird Counts was built around a simple idea: every place matters. From internationally important wetlands to overlooked inland fields, local observations help reveal a much larger picture of migration and change.
