Christmas Bird Count

The 2023 Iowa City Christmas Bird Count was held on Sunday December 17.
The Christmas Bird Count program is administered by the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  It is the longest-running citizen science project in existence.  The Iowa City count has been conducted annually since 1951.  Our count area is a 15-mile diameter circle which includes north and west Iowa City, Coralville, Tiffin, North Liberty, Solon, Lake Macbride, Kent Park, and most of the Coralville Reservoir.  The circle is divided into territories, and a group with an experienced leader is assigned to cover each territory.  The goal is to identify and count all the birds found in the count circle on that day.
