05/02/2026 07:00:00 AM05/02/2026 08:00:00 PMAmerica/New_YorkPresque Isle Big Sit, Spring 2026Join Erie Bird Observatory as we kick off the start of May-gration with a Big Sit on Saturday, May 2nd at Fry’s Landing on Presque Isle State Park.
What is a Big Sit? Much like a Big Day, the goal is to count as many bird species as possible in a day… but, without leaving a 17 ft. diameter circle! This is an exciting and laid back birding event for bird-enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels.
Birds will be documented from a circle of participants, keeping track of the total number of species observed throughout the day. EBO is looking for volunteers that are interested in community science, bird-watching, and education.
The Presque Isle Big Sit circle will be located atop the mound at Fry's Landing. We will have educational materials about migration. Please bring a comfortable chair and dress for the weather; bring snacks and drinks for you or to share; bring binoculars if you have a pair. We will need volunteers for various shifts. If you cannot attend as a volunteer, please show your support through a donation.
