2nd Annual Baltimore BuRB-A-Thon

Save the Date! May 5th-8th, 2023

Participate in the 2nd Annual BURB-A-Thon!

The BURB-A-Thon is a fundraiser where participants bird for a 24-hour period between May 5th-8th, finding as many bird species as they can and raising money by finding sponsors to support their efforts. Sponsors can be anyone and they support participants by donating either a set sum or sponsoring participants per species found.

Anyone and everyone can participate in the BURB-A-Thon, whether you are an experienced birder or brand new and we encourage individuals, as well as teams to participate.
