Virtual Bird-a-thon with Audubon Vermont!
https://vt.audubon.org/get-involved/birdathon

Like so many things in our world right now, Birdathon is going to be different this year. We're inviting YOU to build our birding community by joining a Virtual Birdathon team and going birding with us, virtually... We're excited for this opportunity to open up Birdathon to everyone, even beyond the borders of Vermont. More than anything else, we want you to enjoy the Birdathon experience with us.
How to Birdathon with Us:
• Choose an Audubon Vermont staff or board member to join their team. When you join a team you will be automatically be entered into a Birdathon raffle and receive updates and birding tips from your team leader. Meet your Virtual Birdathon Team leaders here: https://vt.audubon.org/get-involved/join-our-virtual-birdathon-team
• Choose your birding day. Pick a 24-hour time period between Saturday, May 16 and Monday, May 25. Bird for as long as you like. You don't have to stay up all night or wake up before the sun comes up. Go at your own pace.
• Keep track of the number of different bird species you see and/or hear. The FREE Audubon Bird App or eBird are great ways to keep track of the birds you've seen. Or download and print this Birdathon species checklist, made for the birds of Huntington (The checklist includes birds found at the Green Mountain Audubon Center): https://vt.audubon.org/sites/default/files/static_pages/attachments/birdathon_checklist.pdf
• Submit your Birdathon observations online. https://act.audubon.org/onlineactions/sIz0ZWL4ZUyETeIBREIGFQ2
• We will be tallying the total number of bird species seen by each team, so the more people who join us, the better! We'll also be looking for the most colorful, largest, most spectacular, and rarest birds seen by birders. While you don't have to be an early bird or night owl to join the Virtual Birdathon, there will be accolades for earliest (and latest) birders.

Thanks for supporting your local Nature Center in Huntington! Happy Birding!
