MENDOCINO COAST BIG DAY
ALL DAY - October 12, 2024
On October 12 Mendocino Coast Audubon invites you to join eBird’s Global Big Day, a worldwide birding marathon with the goal of counting as many bird species as possible in a 24-hour period.
Join us at 1pm at Tall Guy Brewing in Fort Bragg on the next day, October 13, for a tally party to share our sightings and count up our group total species!
If you want to participate, simply go birding for any amount of time on October 12 and log all birds you see or hear into the eBird app or website. You can stay home or go further afield, and whatever bird sightings you enter into eBird will be automatically counted toward the global day’s count. Join us to help with citizen science!
If you’d like any help with setting up an eBird account or using its features, or if you’d like to connect with others to go out on the Big Day, contact field trip coordinator Matt Franks: membership@mendocinocoastaudubon.org or (707) 499-0678.
Look for more details in the October newsletter, but it’s not too early to select your teammates and start planning your route. For more information on this event, visit https://ebird.org/news/october-big-day-12-oct-2024
