[idaviesbird]

On the first Saturday in May, birders across more than 150 countries will head out to for birding's biggest day of the year: Global Big Day. Last year over 30,000 people went out in 171 countries, reporting about 2/3rds of the world's birds in a day.

Want to join in this year? All you need to do is to enjoy birds on a nice Saturday in May:

• 
  Watch birds on 4 May: You don’t need to be a bird expert, or go out all day long. Even 10 minutes in your backyard will help. Global Big Day runs from midnight to midnight in your local time zone. You can report birds from anywhere in the world.

• Enter what you see and hear on eBird: You can enter your sightings via the eBird website or—even easier—download the free eBird Mobile app. You can enter and submit lists while you’re still out birding, and the app will even keep track of how far you’ve walked, so you can just focus on watching birds. While you’re downloading free apps, try out the Cornell Lab’s Merlin Bird ID app for help with identification.

Look forward to seeing what you find!
