Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and observations to this long-standing citizen science effort. This year\u2019s count recorded 130 bird species, slightly above the 10-year average of 127 species. Observers also tallied 54,086 individual birds, making 2025 the second-highest bird total of the past decade and more than 1,000 birds higher than last year\u2019s count.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"980\">The 2025 Seattle Christmas Bird Count was powered by an impressive 322 participants, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1035\">\n<li data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1011\">\n<p data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1011\">281 observers in the field<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1035\">\n<p data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1035\">46 at-home counters<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1181\">With more than 300 participants, this marks only the third time in over 100 years that the Seattle CBC has reached this level of engagement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1406\">For detailed species accounts, trends, and analysis, explore the full 2025 Christmas Bird Count report, compiled and written by longtime data
