Alongside the Wednesday Bird Walk at the EAST Wetlands, we've started a Sunday Bird Walk at the WEST Wetlands.
Mark you calendar: Saturday, October 10, 2026 is October Big Day (and World Migratory Bird Day).
Anyone can participate in this global community science effort simply by going birding on October 10 and submitting your bird counts to eBird or Merlin. It’s that simple! You don’t need to be an expert birder or go out all day long; even 10 minutes of birding from your backyard or neighborhood counts.
During last year's October Big Day, nearly 900,000 people united for a single day of birding and set a new benchmark for collective citizen science action! Let's keep up the great work this year!
