It’s Almost Bird-A-Thon time! Have you registered your team?

Join us for a month of birding, community, and conservation. Whether you're spotting birds or supporting a team, the Bird-A-Thon is open to all ages and skill levels.

Pick any day between September 15 and October 15 to identify as many bird species as you can in a 24-hour period—on your own or with a team.

Take part in fun challenges, compete for prizes, and connect with others at in-person and virtual events.

It’s easy to get started! Visit the link below to learn more and set up a personal or team fundraising page, or make a donation to help us meet our fundraising goal. As a participant in the country’s longest-running Bird-A-Thon, you’ll be supporting Point Blue's work since our founding in 1965 to conserve birds, other wildlife, and ecosystems through science, partnership, and outreach.
