“The 2024 Great Backyard Bird Count saw hundreds of thousands of people turn their eyes and ears outside to watch and listen for birds—on every continent and virtually every country. Fortunately for us, many of those people brought cameras and shared their photography from all parts of the globe. The results are simply amazing, as you’ll see in this gallery. Whether you browse through birds familiar to you or daydream about the birds of distant regions, we hope you’ll enjoy these photos of birds and birders—all taken during the 2024 GBBC. To view all the photos submitted during the 2024 Great Backyard Bird Count (more than 125,000 in all), visit the GBBC photo submissions page at the Macaulay Library. And to dig into the full stats for all 7,800+ species and 290,000+ checklists recorded, view the 2024 GBBC Results page.” [h/t Barclay Walsh]
