  • Overview

    The World Series of Birding is the country's largest and most prestigious birding competition and provides participants and sponsors with a fun and interactive way to raise money for critically needed conservation priorities.

    At midnight, on May 19, 1984, 13 teams set out on a 24-hour treasure hunt. Their mission was to tally as many different species of birds by sight or sound. Their objective was to raise money for their favorite environmental cause and to focus attention on the habitat needs of migrating birds. They succeeded beyond anyone’s dreams.

    In 2024, over 90 teams and participants are expected to vie for glory and their share of the excitement in North America’s most spirited conservation fundraising event, the Annual World Series of Birding. Join in on the fun while raising money and awareness for bird and habitat conservation.
