This Saturday, May 9th, celebrate birding by participating in the Global Big Day at a favorite birding site, or a nearby park, refuge, a birding hotspot you've always wanted to visit, or even from home. Join birders from more than 200 nations around the world by spending as much time as you wish to identify and count all the birds you see, then report your observations to eBird online. It's a great occasion to invite family, friends, co-workers, or neighbors to join you. In fact, it's a great opportunity to introduce someone to birding who hasn't been birding before.
