At midnight, on May 19, 1984, 13 teams set out on a 24-hour treasure hunt. Their mission: To tally as many different species of birds by sight or sound. Their objective: To raise money for their favorite environmental cause, and to focus attention on the habitat needs of migrating birds. They succeeded beyond anyone’s dreams and in 2025, we hope to see over 90 teams and participants vie for glory and their share of the excitement in North America’s most spirited conservation fundraising event, the Annual WORLD SERIES OF BIRDING. Join in on the fun while raising money and awareness for bird and habitat conservation. WHY? 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
