2025 Photo Gallery
Every February, participants across New Hampshire share their bird sightings and their best photos—from chickadees to rare visitors at the feeder. This gallery celebrates the diversity of winter wildlife seen on the Backyard Winter Bird Survey and the people who make the Survey possible.
Scroll through the collection to enjoy highlights from past surveys, including common feeder species, unusual sightings, and even the squirrels and chipmunks that keep things interesting.
