Green Birding Challenge 2024

________________________________________________________

Soaring Eagle Challenge: Starts at 6 AM; 5 hours of birding

Rockin' Robin Challenge: Starts at 8 AM; 3 hours of birding

^ $45 for adults; $25 for children with lunch and a t-shirt included! Each challenge involves teams competing to see who can find the most bird species the morning of May 11. This challenge is unique in that all team-based counts are done without using any fossil fuels (no driving 100 miles to see a bonus bird).

Your team of birders (max of 4 people) will choose a challenge category (at the end of checkout): 

1. The Big Sit (sitting):  Find a location that you can walk or bike to and then sit in a comfy lawn chair with coffee and let the birds come to you. Picking the best location is the hardest part! 
2. Birding By Foot (walking): Hike to and from Urban Ecology Center - Riverside Park to build your list.
3. Bike to Birds (biking): Join the biking challenge and visit hot spots around the city to build your list.

**Each member of your team must register. It is easiest to register everyone in your team at once. Registration confirmations can be sent to multiple people.
