Hi CoBirders,
The *North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) i*s our longest running continent-wide survey of breeding birds. Each year during the height of the avian breeding season (late May to early July), skilled birders collect bird population data along roadside BBS survey routes. Each survey route is 24.5 miles long with stops situated 0.5-mile apart. At each stop, a 3-minute point count is conducted, and every bird seen or heard within a 0.25-mile radius is recorded. Routes are surveyed once each season, following the same roads and making the same stops each year.
I've been surveying BBS routes for over 30 years and it is one of the highlights of my birding year. I've learned so much, and it is so fun to get to know the routes and the birds along the way, and to see first hand how things are changing.
