On 25 December 2024 The Post and Courier reported: The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the longest-running community science project for birders and is sponsored by the National Audubon Society. The official dates run from Dec. 14, 2024, to Jan. 5, 2025, giving birding groups across 20 countries the flexibility to pick one day for an official count. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

...Last year's 124th bird count in South Carolina saw 1,122 volunteers give a day of their time during 29 individual counts taking place during a similar range of dates.

...The roots of the Christmas Bird Count date back to when shooting wild birds was a Christmas Day tradition. But in 1900, ornithologist Frank Chapman and 26 volunteers initiated the bird count as a way of promoting conservation by simply counting the birds on Christmas Day.

The data collected over a century of bird observations allows Audubon researchers and biologists from state and federal agencies to study the long-term health of bird populations. Furthermore, it allows myriad birders a pathway to participate in a meaningful census every year that is designed to benefit birds.
