Event: Napa-Solano Audubon's Big Day of Birding

Date: Saturday April 29, 2023

Time: 8:00 AM

Saturday, April 29th is set for Napa-Solano Audubon’s Big Day of Birding 2023! (NSAS Event)

Details:

Many Audubon Chapters sponsor A Big Day of Birding fashioned after Cornell’s Global Big Day. Last year we reinstituted our Napa-Solano Audubon’s Big Day of Birding and had a blast! A team of Young Birders broke the previous record observing 170 species. The number one goal is to have our birding members and friends go out on this Saturday and have FUN birding as an individual, small group, or team. You may bird in Napa County or Solano County or both!

We anticipate setting up a competition between the 2 counties as well as acknowledging the team that observes the most species seen in Napa and Solano counties and in both!

If you’d like to join the fun, please register by sending an email to NapaBirder@gmail.com .

If you are looking for a team to join, we will do our best to connect you with other birders. Let’s celebrate with a Fun Day of Birding!

Many chapters use the Big Day as a fundraising adventure. We encourage all teams to raise funds during this event by getting friends to sponsor your efforts. They can donate a flat fee such as $25 or $100 or give you any amount for each species that your team finds for example $1.00 per bird. (Don’t forget to remind them if you team locates 100 species they will owe $100.)

As a challenge to our members and friends we will break down their gifts by designating a specific giving category amount as many other Audubon Chapters do! Golden Eagle Donation: $5,000+ Bald Eagle Donation: $1,000+ Goshawk Donation: $500+ Broad-winged Hawk: $250+ Rough-legged Hawk Donation: $100+ Red-tailed Hawk Donation: $50+ American Kestrel Donation: $25+

Come join in on all the fun and bird with us on Saturday, April 29th! We will hold a Celebration Zoom Meeting on Saturday, April 29th at 7:00 pm. For all participants.
