The Global Big Day Bird Count is an annual celebration of the birds around you, and this year is no different. While not everyone may be able to leave home to bird this year, Global Big Day is still an opportunity to check in with the birds in and around where you live. Join us on May 10, 2025, and be a part of a global birding community by sharing what birds you see around you with eBird.
