Grab your binoculars and head out on May 13th to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day by joining tens of thousands of birders worldwide in the 2023 Global Big Day collaborative event. Alternatively, you can participate by recording feeder counts on that day without even leaving home. Whether in the field or at home, simply record your observations for the day in eBird to contribute to this effort.

Last year over 51,000 people from 201 countries submitted 132,000 checklists for a single day. If you have not yet used eBird, now would be the perfect time to become familiar with this free and easy-to-use app so you will be ready to roll on May 13th.
