ST LOUIS BIRDATHON 20201: BIRDING BY THE MONTH
ST LOUIS BIRDATHON 2024: BIRDING BY THE MONTH
Another option for participating, which might be the most fun for you, is to try monitoring a site for the entire month of May and see how many species you can record. This could be your back yard, however small; your larger property, if you live on some larger acreage; or a local park or other area of your choice. At maximum, it could even be the entire St. Louis area; one person last year found 193 species this way.
IMPORTANT: Please invite your friends, neighbors, relatives, and colleagues to pledge whatever they can, in one of two ways: (1) They can pledge per species you record. To be fair, you should give them some idea of the number you expect. (2) They can pledge a set amount for your efforts.
How to report your results:
- Record your total list of species on the St. Louis Bird Checklist.
- If you have an eBird account and wish to enter eBird lists for the sites you visit, see Birding by the Day (bottom of page). Please do not send us eBird links.
- Put your location(s) and dates, the total number of species, and the names of your team members at the top of the first page of the Checklist, or on a cover sheet, and submit to St. Louis Audubon by Friday, June 7, or earlier if you can.
- Please submit by scanning the Checklist (preferably as a pdf document) and email to birdathon@stlouisaudubon.org.
