It's Time for Christmas Bird Counts
After everyone gets done opening their holiday presents and drinking their egg nog, some "45,000 people from all 50 states, every Canadian province, the Caribbean, Central and South America and the Pacific Islands (all areas where the breeding birds of North America spend their winter)" will dig out their field glasses and bird identification books to go count birds in what has become an annual ritual. They count every wild bird they can find; every place they can find them.
