Your support helps us in our quest to count as many birds as we can spot right in our own backyard. What started as a simple morning tradition has become a joyful way for our family to connect with nature, listen for familiar chirps, and notice the wildlife all around us. Every bird we count and every donation helps make a difference. Thank you for cheering us on! 

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!
