We're happy to announce the 2024 Brooklyn Bird Club Birdathon, to be held in celebration of World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) on Saturday, May 11. https://www.worldmigratorybirdday.org/
The annual Birdathon asks birders to form teams of up to 6 members and count bird species in Brooklyn in support of a cause that helps the birds we love. Everyone is welcome ─ hardcore birders, backyard feeder watchers, and beginners! Like a walkathon, participants collect pledges and donations from friends and family for finding and counting bird species on the day of the Birdathon. Instead of getting a pledge per mile walked, Birdathon participants ask for a pledge for each bird species seen by the team.
This year's designated beneficiary is the The Foundation for the Conservation of the Tropical Andes (FCAT – https://fcat-ecuador.org) For more information, and to donate: https://givebutter.com/brooklyn-bird-club-2024-spring-birdathon/
Please register your team by sending team members, your day's goal, and a team name to Bobbi Manian birdathon@ brooklynbirdclub.org by Tuesday, May 7.
