Washtenaw County May Count
Please join dozens of enthusiastic volunteers for the Washtenaw County May Count, on World Migratory Bird Day. This event is a day to be out there counting all the birds we can find, and it’s a super fun Big Day! Juliet Berger is the organizer for this countywide count, which uses eBird to benefit bird science with its comprehensive results. The organizer divides the county into townships, each of which has an Area Leader. Leaders recruit additional volunteers to count birds throughout their area.
We still could use more volunteers across the county. Come join in the fun and go birding!
