For one day a year, thousands of Americans, from Maine to California, are marathon birders, flocking to fields, ponds and tree groves to count as many bird species as possible in the Audubon Birdathon. It is the world's largest competitive bird watching event. The Audubon Birdathon is a competitive fund-raising bird count. Participants seek sponsors to pledge donations - from 10¢ to $10 or more - for each bird species seen in a 24-hour period. Audubon chapters will hold birdathons through the United States during April and May to coincide with peak migration periods. From dawn to late in the evening, birders will tally every bird species seen for their favorite conservation cause. Since most groups expect to see between 100 to 200 species, the birders raise thousands of dollars for local conservation projects. Funds raised by the Mobile Bay Chapter of the National Audubon Society will be used to support the Audubon Adventures programs in 4th and 5th grades of our local schools. A $35.00 donation will provide a one year's subscription to Audubon Adventures for a classroom. "Saving habitat by educating children". You can participate in one of two ways:
