Count Birds to Save Birds!

Thank you for being a champion for Birds Connect Seattle. Your support of Birdathon, as a donor or fundraiser, directly supports our mission to advocate and organize for cities where people and birds thrive. Every dollar that we raise fuels our urban conservation, community science, environmental education, and outreach programs.

Birdathon success has a simple formula:

1. Gather gifts and pledges

2. Count species

3. Make our community safer for birds through local conservation initiatives

Every Dollar Makes a Difference for Birds

Community Science

Count Birds the "Big Day Way"

How many bird species do you reckon you could identify in one day? 20? Maybe even 100?

Well, this year, we are putting that question to the test for everyone. All Birdathon participants will participate in a Big Day, 24 hours of counting fun anywhere in Washington between May 10th and 12th.
