Introducing Big Day 2018

Join us for the biggest birding event of the year. 

Big Day is back — and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s birding Dream Team, the Sapsuckers, are competing again!

On May 5th, Team Sapsucker will head to Colombia, Honduras, and California for a 24-hour quest to find as many bird species as possible. Their ultimate goal is to find 500 bird species - and raise $575,000 for conservation and research. This world-wide birding blitz is the Lab's biggest conservation science fundraiser of the year.

We are thrilled to bring you along on the journey!
