To help everyone participate safely and with a shared understanding of what Christmas Bird Count participation may involve, all Christmas Bird Count participants should review the applicable liability and/or assumption of risk statement for the region where their count circle is located.
Participants who register online will review the applicable statement during registration. If you are participating without registering online, please review the applicable statement before count day. By participating in any Christmas Bird Count activity, you accept the applicable terms.
Please use the statement that corresponds to your count circle location:
For count circles in the U.S. and U.S. territories: Liability Release and Assumption of Risk
For count circles in Canada: Liability Release and Assumption of Risk
For count circles in countries with Latin America and the Caribbean: Assumption of Risk
Some local organizing partners or host sites may also have their own waiver, assumption of risk, safety acknowledgment, or related process. Please continue to follow any local requirements that apply to your count. The Christmas Bird Count statement is not intended to replace those local processes.
