Want to have a lot of fun and help birds and nature at the
same time? Do a Birdathon this May! It’s challenging, exhilarating,
and - beware - addictive! Birdathoners just can’t help coming back for
more, year after year!
More than 7,000 people from across Canada (and from several countries
around the world) participate in and/or sponsor Birdathon in May of
every year. During a 24-hour period in May, they attempt to find as many
bird species as they can, sponsored at a flat rate, or on a per-species
basis. Birders can
designate a favourite conservation organization to receive a portion of
the funds they raise. Bird observatories can also be designated as
recipients of fund raising.
As a further incentive, our sponsors have provided some wonderful
prizes for participants to win. Click here for full list.
