Started in 1998, the Winter Bird Count is an annual event that promotes cultural and environmental awareness within the Gila River Indian Community. This special event features over 80 local and wintering bird species that call the Community's environment home.

Maricopa Audubon Society has been a longtime partner with the GRIC on this count, enjoying the birds and the people in both surveys and cultural events to celebrate the end of that years count.
