Join the Global Big Day in Arizona
May 10, 2025
If you like to get out in the spring sunshine and count birds, you should sign up to participate in the annual Global Big Day (GBD) spring migration count in Arizona on Saturday 10 May. The GBD, sponsored by eBird, is coordinated in Arizona by Arizona Field Ornithologists and supported by local bird groups and other interested organizations. With hundreds of volunteers in the field we will strive to get a "snapshot" of the spring migration, and most of all have fun!
Learn more about the count here and, if you want to volunteer, check out the list of county coordinators. If you are in a county that doesn't have a coordinator, offer to coordinate our efforts there by contacting the state coordinator, Doug Jenness at dougjenness@gmail.com.
