World Shorebird Day and Global Count 2021











It is time again for the Global Shorebird Count, an event that is held every year around World Shorebirds Day, September 6th.   It was started to raise awareness of the need to protect shorebirds and their habitats throughout their life cycles, also to raise public awareness about the need for continued shorebird research, monitoring, and conservation, and to connect people with shorebirds across the world.  This year’s event started on September 1st and will conclude on the 7th.

How to participate: By safely getting out to your local beaches, parks or wetlands during the week of the Global Shorebird Counts, especially on September 6th, World Shorebirds day, count the shorebirds you see, enter the results of your count on ebird.org, share the checklist with World Shorebirds Day and that’s it.  See the 4 steps how-to here

Remember, when out birding to follow the COVID-19 Protocols,   stay safe and enjoy your birding.
