Cope Environmental Center Birdathon - May 2-18, 2025

A Birdathon is like a walkathon or readathon, but instead of counting steps or books, we count birds! 🐦 It is an opportunity to get outside, learn your birds and help raise funds for Cope Environmental Center.

If counting the species you see doesn't bring you joy, we've got other exciting ways to participate too! You can choose to challenge yourself to see how many bird species you can photograph 📷 or how many locations 🗺️ you can visit during the Birdathon!

Bird anytime from May 2 to May 18. Walk in your neighborhood, watch at your birdfeeders, search lakes and ponds, hike at places like Cope Environmental Center, or visit any bird hotspots in the country or world!

Register to join us and decide if you'd like to keep track of:

• birds species seen

• bird species photographed

• locations visited

You'll receive a customizable fundraising page you can share and use to post updates. No matter how you choose to participate, your friends, family, and supporters will be able to cheer you on with donations or pledges to help you reach your goal. Each participant is asked to have at least one donor but the more the better!

Check out our Birding with Cope Environmental Center page on Facebook. Share photos and sightings, ask questions, discuss bird ID, and so much more! This is Cope Environmental Center's page for all things birds and it's a particularly hoppin' place to be during the two weeks of our Birdathon!
