Date: 4/28/26 9:01 am From: Megan Massa <mmassa...> Subject: [VTBIRD] Participate in Vermont Center for Ecostudies Birdathon this May!
This May marks the Vermont Center for Ecostudies’ 20th annual Birdathon, a
beloved tradition that raises funds for VCE’s conservation science
programs. It’s like a walk-a-thon, but participants count the number of
bird species they can identify during one day this May instead of the miles
they walk.
Birdathon is open to all levels of experience and participation, from a
statewide 24-hour big day to a morning sitting in your backyard. You choose
the date you want to participate. You can sign up any time between now and
the end of May, when the event concludes.
The funds raised through Birdathon supports VCE’s wildlife conservation
research, including long-term bird monitoring and migration research from
Canada to the Dominican Republic, plus mentoring the next generation of
conservation biologists.
Learn more and register to participate today, or check out the awards and
prizes (including a Northern Parula patch designed by yours truly) that are
up for grabs at https://vtecostudies.org/birdathon
The VCE team, the Green Mountain Goatsuckers, looks forward to your
friendly competition.
Happy birding,
Megan
