It's Time for Birdathon!
Last year, Birding Friends of Little Hunting Creek saw 52 species in my yard on May 13! Can you beat it?
We are birding on Little Hunting Creek, a tidal tributary of the Potomac River with large areas of freshwater wetlands and many wetland birds.
Birdathon helps NVBA to support Wildlife Sanctuary Program, outdoor education, citizen science, habitat conservation and programs to encourage people to plant native plants and protect native wildlife. Birdathon also helps ornithologists better understand spring migration by reporting sightings through eBird, an online database of bird observations run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
