Birdathon is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Like a walk-a-thon, participants collect pledges from friends and family via their team page. Then they record how many species they can identify during any 24-hour period between April 19 and May 18.

Birdathon helps NVBA to support 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.

Thank you for your support!
