How It Works
How to participate: easy step-by-step process on how to register.
Online registration: sign-up and access all materials quickly and easily.
Tournament date flexibility: Choose your participation day(s) on the fly! Plan your dates based on weather, personal schedules, etc.
Tournament categories: "Dispersed Flock" and "Intact Flock" categories give teams options to participate remotely from one another or together, so explore the different categories to see which is a fit for you. There is something for everyone, regardless of birdwatching experience, age, ability, or location.
Facebook: Stay in touch in real time by checking us out on Facebook. We'd love to see photos from teams in the field, birds and other critters you see, birding gear, funny shots of your team, and more. Share your pics by email and we'll post them!
Remember - it's for the birds! Registration fees and sponsorship dollars go toward Conservation Grants for birding, nature tourism, and habitat restoration and enhancement projects throughout the state, and select winning teams will help choose which projects are funded. The more teams that register, the more funds raised and awarded through grants!
