We are participating in NVBA's 2026 Birdathon - an attempt to see as many bird species in Northern Virginia in 24 hours. We will attempt this on May 2nd! 

Last year, our team saw 67 species and raised $415. Our goal this year? 75 species and $350 raised for cnservation and bird science in Northern Virginia! 

Birdathon helps NVBA to support outdoor education, citizen science, habitat conservation and programs to encourage people to plant native plants and protect native wildlife. Birdathon also helps ornithologists better understand spring migration by reporting sightings through eBird, an online database of bird observations run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts!
• Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you so much for your support and for helping us help birds and wildlife here in northern Virginia! We couldn’t do it without you!
