It's time for Point Blue's 46th Annual Rich Stallcup Bird-A-Thon!

Every year, hundreds of birders and conservation enthusiasts alike choose a day to spend time in nature identifying as many bird species as possible by sight or sound. Participate from anywhere in the world! Bird solo, create a team, or join one to make your bird count. Then encourage your friends, family, and co-workers to sponsor you, all to benefit Point Blue Conservation Science's nature-based solutions to climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental threats to benefit wildlife and people.

Those who participate individually or as a team choose a 24-hour period between September 15 – October 15 to count as many bird species as possible.
