Hi birders and naturalists alike! THIS Sunday 10th September 2017 brings you Ontario Charitable Big Day of Birding! This event has the aim of raising money Wildlife Preservation Canada, specifically the Loggerhead recovery project.
On the day teams of up to 4 people will bird anywhere in Ontario, with the aim of seeing/hearing as many different species of birds as possible within an 12 hour period (8am to 8pm). You can bird as little or as much as you'd like. Each team will donate $50 dollars to the cause as an entry fee. The winning team will be the team that see's the most bird species and in the event of a tie break heard birds will be subtracted from your total.
