Birdwatching

Long Point is the place to be the weekend of May 11-12, 2013! On Saturday, May 11th, registered Birdathon participants are invited to come to Long Point and join Bird Studies Canada staff, volunteers, and other Birdathon participants for a day or two of birding and fun. Guided hikes will be conducted at our Old Cut Field Station and to key sites on the mainland. Participants are treated to coffee and donuts in the morning and an informal chili dinner in the evening.

Bird Studies Canada's Baillie Birdathon is the oldest sponsored bird count in North America, raising money for bird research and conservation. The challenge that keeps participants coming back year after year is to identify as many bird species as possible within a 24-hour period, during the month of May. The money raised benefits Bird Studies Canada, the James L. Baillie Memorial Fund, and participating migration monitoring stations and conservation organizations which are designated by participants to receive a portion of funds raised.

We are going to involve the children of local school for the WMBD 2013 event. The local town in which we are going to celebrate WMBD 2013 is located in the Gobi Desert and a number of migratory birds pass through the region during their great migration. Mongolia is a developing country and there are limited people who love birds. Thus, we hope to increase the number of bird lovers by as many as possible.
