Third annual Big Day Boston downtown birding competition to be held in May
The third annual Big Day Boston downtown birding competition will be held May 3rd at Copp's Hill Terrace.
Register for Big Day Boston 2025
Described as the anti-competition birding competition, Big Day Boston aims to bring awareness of the abundance and diversity of birds in Boston's downtown.
Last year, participants reported 66 species; in 2023, we saw 78!
There will be free screen printing (bring a blank t-shirt!), awards, and registered participants will receive a checklist to keep track of the bird species they see.
I was inspired to organize Big Day Boston after finding 27 different species of birds in just the North End and Public Garden in the spring of 2022. The quantification gave me a way to share the experience with others that resonated with them - especially non-birders: ("Wow! There are 27 different species of birds in downtown?")
Kickoff and awards for the the 2025 event will be held May 3rd, 2025 at Copp's Hill Terrace starting at 9am.
You must register for the event at the Big Day Boston website. I hope to see many North End neighbors there!
