Trinity Bird Count - DFW

Join us for a The Trinity Bird Count is an exciting new effort to count every bird species in and along our Trinity River in Dallas! Birds are among the most beautiful and intriguing visitors and residents of the forests, grasslands, river banks and neighborhoods along the Trinity River.

This year, the Trinity Commons Foundation begins an exciting new project to learn about the Trinity's birds - the Trinity Bird Count. With 636 of the 957 bird species in North America, Texas is for the birds! Come enjoy the Trinity and help investigate the birds that live along the Trinity or that visit here during their migration.

Where will we count birds?

Our project focuses on the Trinity River and adjacent areas within the City of Dallas. This corridor is divided into seven subareas so each team can focus on particular places and habitats. We hope to have teams bird the river from canoes as well!

I want to bird with a group.
Teams will make trips to each subarea at least once each season. When you register to participate, you can indicate the subareas where you want to bird and you'll be added to those teams. If you haven't selected subareas, you can join a team that has a trip scheduled. Go to the Trinity Bird Count Calendar to see the schedule of trips. Simply email the trip contact listed on the calendar event to let them know you want to join.

I want to bird on my own, or with a group of my friends.
Birders are invited to visit any of the subareas at any time during the year for independent birding. If you and your friends bird these areas, please be sure to report your results on eBird and share them with the Trinity Bird Count. Details about independent birding and eBird are found in the Participant Packet.

Remember to share your sightings with join@trinitybirdcount.com!
