Become a Birdathon birder today by joining Birds Canada's 50th anniversary Birdathon to help birds soar for the next 50 years! For 5 decades, this Birdathon has united people across Canada through one simple idea: Enjoy birds and help protect them at the same time. Since 1976, Birdathon has grown from supporting a single bird observatory to becoming Canada's longest-running fundraiser for bird conservation, raising millions of dollars to protect birds and fund a variety of worthy projects across the country.
Whether you are a lifelong birder or simply enjoy time well spent in natural settings, you are welcome to participate. Choose any day in May to conduct your Birdathon, any time, at any location (yes, American birders can participate too). Most birdathoners try to spot as many species as they can during their Birdathon – set a goal for how many birds you hope to spot and help raise funds for bird conservation in the process. Registration is Free, and you can participate solo or as a team. When you register you receive a participant tool kit that has everything you need, including fund-raising message templates. (There are no fundraising minimums required to participate.) And did we mention there are prizes too? For more information, refer to Birdathon - Birds Canada | Oiseaux Canada
