Looking for more birding excitement? Don’t miss the World Series of Birding on May 11!
The World Series of Birding is a “competitive” big day. But just like a marathon, the accent is on participating, not winning. There are many benefits to participants, teams and sponsors. Here are just a handful:
- It draws attention to the habitat needs of migrating birds.
- It provides birders a chance to test and use their skills for a great cause.
- It provides a forum for interaction between birders, conservation organization representatives and businesses that cater to the birding market.
- It generates hundreds of thousands of dollars for a number of worthy conservation organizations.
- It focuses national attention on the challenge and adventure of birding.
- It’s FUN!
