How It Works

During March 28 – April 12 teams head into the field for a 24-hour birding adventure.

Before their count, participants:

  • Gather pledges from friends, family, and supporters

  • Invite local businesses and community partners to join in

Why It Matters

Birdathon isn’t just a friendly competition — it fuels:

  • Habitat restoration

  • Conservation projects

  • Education and outreach

  • Community science

More birds counted = more support for birds and the places they need.

    • Collect pledges/donations from sponsors: friends, family, coworkers, anyone!

    • Have fun and count bird species for up to 24 hours on your team’s big day!
