2026 Birdathon

Community Powered. Science Driven.
Dates: May 18-25, 2026

Birdathon is back! This year we’re transforming our traditional Birdathon Big Day into a week-long celebration of birds, research, and community-powered conservation.

From May 18-25, chapter teams will count as many birds as possible and raise funds for statewide research and their chapters!

Our Goal: Raise $15,000 to Strengthen Bird Research Across Michigan
