May is Global Big Day month, and this year, it falls on Saturday, May 11th! Our local birding team, The Bajan Birders & Friends, is once again participating in BirdsCaribbean's annual Global Big Day fundraiser.
This team unites local birders with those who have visited our beautiful island and share our love for birds and birding. Last year, our ten-member team, which was made up of birders spread across four countries, raised an impressive $435 and spotted a remarkable 220 bird species! This fantastic achievement landed them in 7th place for the most birds seen on the day. This year we are looking to improve in all categories, so help us by joining our team and/or making a donation.
This year's fundraising efforts aim to support Caribbean nationals with travel scholarships to attend the upcoming Birds Caribbean 24th International Conference, taking place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from July 18th to 22nd. Last year, 17 teams from 35 countries identified an astounding 1,146 bird species and collectively raised over $20,000 for the crucial Caribbean Bird Banding program.
