Baillie Birdathon
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.

The 2010 Baillie Birdathon t-shirt design is based on a photo by
Robert R. Taylor. Robert is a naturalist, photographer,
award-winning writer, and founding Long Point Bird Observatory
member. His photographs have appeared in many national and
international magazines including BirdWatch Canada, Equinox, Life,
Reader's Digest, Photo Life, Birder's World, and Canadian
Geographic. Learn more about Robert and his work at
