The Monroe County Birdathon is officially returning for 2025 on May 10th.

What better way to participate in the May 10th Global Big Day than to take a team out for the Birdathon? This friendly birding competition to see the most species of birds within the boundaries of Monroe County in a single day has been held for many years.

In previous years, this event was used as a fundraising opportunity for local organizations. While you are still welcome to gather donations and pledges for you team, there will be no registration fees/donations required for participation in 2025.

Registration is now open! To register a team, please do the following:

  1. Review the Birdathon Rules and Fact Sheet.

  2. Complete the Team Registration Form and email to sas@sassafrasaudubon.org.

After the event, we will compile species tallies from all registered teams and share with other participants.
