Landholders within the Great Western Wildlife Corridor who have a dam, creek-line or watering hole on their property will have the best vantage point for the survey.
The Great Western Wildlife Corridor is located between Bullio and Bungonia and includes the Joadja, High Range, Canyonleigh, Paddys River, Sutton Forest, Penrose, Tallong and Marulan South localities.
Wingecarribee Shire Council's environmental projects officer, Patrick Tegart described the glossy black-cockatoo as a beautiful and charismatic bird.
"They're classified as a vulnerable species and we're interested to learn more about our local population and their distribution," he said.
"The more eyes and ears we have on the look-out for the glossies the better," he said.
"So even if you don't live within the corridor we still want you to participate from your front or backyard," he said
The count will take place between 3.30pm and 5.30pm on May 30.
Photos of glossies are also welcome.
