Summary

This is an antiquated version of the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset that has been superseded by a more recent release. Unless visitors have a specific need for these archived data, they should return to the Main BBS Dataset Page and choose the most recent data release, as that one will include all BBS data released to date. The 1966-2019 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles [...]

Purpose

The North American Breeding Bird Survey uses standardized, statistically rigorous protocols to deliver scientifically credible measures of the status, trends, and environmental associations of North American birds. Federal, State, and local resource planners throughout the U.S. and Canada make extensive use of BBS information to identify at-risk species and to make wildlife management decisions.
