May is Birdathon Month - Join in the Fun!
May 1-31, 2011 The Birdathon is a great way to celebrate the arrival of spring migration and to get friends and family involved in one of America's fastest-growing pastimes. It is also a fundraising drive, and an important source of support for NYC Audubon's conservation, research, and education programs. Now more than ever, we need your help--and what better way to raise money than by getting out there and enjoying your favorite activity? If you enjoy birds and nature in New York City, tell your friends and family! And ask them to support your day of birding. Here are some expert tips to get you started in raising pledges. It's almost as easy as going birding, and your friends all owe you for those girl scout cookies you bought... Simply go birding by yourself or with a group, anywhere in the five boroughs, anytime in May! Count the number of bird species you see, and report your results to NYC Audubon for our final tally.

Birdathons are held nationwide during the same week in May, and have led to an official competition for the title of America's Birdiest City. In 2006, New York City captured first place in the Large East Coast City category with 193 species. Be a part of the action and help NYC win again in 2011! |
