The Great Backyard Bird Count
It’s free, it’s fun, and it helps scientific research. Here's how to participate in this annual February tradition that spans the globe.

Make a Plan
Before you hit the great outdoors (or your backyard), you will need to sort out logistics so that when the weekend comes, you're properly prepared.
First, make sure you have a way to submit your data after the count is over. If you already have an account at the GBBC website, an eBird account, or have registered for another Cornell Lab citizen science project (such as FeederWatch or NestWatch), you can use your existing information to log into the database. If you haven’t participated in the last two years, creating a new account is easy. Once you’re set, download the mobile app from the eBird website. Participants who don’t have smartphones can use their computers to plug in data.
Next, decide where you're going to count and for how long you want to do it. You can devote as little as 15 minutes on a single day, or make a full weekend of it. And though you’re welcome to stick to your window or yard, you can count anywhere: your neighborhood, a local park, a rooftop, a national wildlife refuge or sanctuary, or a birding hotspot farther afield. You can also move between locations during the survey, so feel free to visit several different spots.
Renaissance
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer-based program that students at Stellar Charter School have access to in order to monitor reading practice and progress. Students take short quizzes after reading a book to check for comprehension and reach their reading goals.
How are AR Goals set?
Grades K-1: AR uses a points goal system for students in grades K-1 that will be assigned a goal each semester according to their grade and suggested daily reading is 15 minutes.
Grades 2-8: AR uses a points goal system that will be generated by the STAR assessment they take at the beginning of the year and at benchmark periods throughout the year. Reading will be between 15-30 minutes a day depending on grade level.
Grades 9-12: AR uses a points goal system that will be generated by STAR assessments they take at the beginning of the year and at benchmark periods throughout the year. Reading will be 30 minutes a day.
How many points do books earn? Students can earn points for every book they read. The number of points is based on a book’s length and difficulty.
How can students earn points? Students earn points when they take a quiz for each book. Passing a quiz requires a score of at least 80%. However, if they score higher than 60 percent on the quiz, they receive a fraction of the total points they could earn from it.
Get recognized for reading! At Stellar, all students who reach their goal each semester will receive special recognition with their name displayed in the breezeway. Students in K-8th will be given a prize and students in 9-12th will be eligible for rewards for a gift certificate to Dutch Bros or In-N-Out.
