Hi all,
May 9th is the inaugural Global Big Day (http://ebird.org/globalbigday/), where eBird and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are hoping to engage a worldwide network of birders to go out, count birds, and support global bird conservation. Our goal is to have over 4,000 species of birds reported to eBird in a single calendar day, and to raise $500,000 for bird conservation.
In our ongoing effort to push the boundaries of a Big Day, eBird and the Cornell Lab are inviting everybody around the world to join together and participate in our Global Big Day to support global conservation.
Everyone is invited, and everybody can contribute! All you have to do is go birding, and how fun is that? Just submit your sightings to eBird, and contribute to global bird conservation. Tell your friends!
People from over 35 countries are participating so far, and little notes about many of their efforts can be found on our Global Big Day Regional Events page: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/globalbigday/gbdregional/.
I hope that you can go out birding on May 9th and find some birds, and I look forward to seeing your sightings! Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any interest in participating or any questions at all.
Good birding!
Ian
