What is the World Series of Birding?
It’s a game, it’s a marathon, it’s a challenge, it’s a heck of a lot of fun!

The World Series of Birding is the country’s largest and most prestigious birding competition and provides participants and sponsors with a fun and interactive way to raise money for critically needed conservation priorities.

The 2020 World Series of Birding “Special Edition” is designed for a day of good birding, lots of communication and sharing, virtual camaraderie and FUN, all with the health and safety of everyone involved paramount during the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing. Whether you look out the window, explore your yard or neighborhood, or venture to a nearby park (only if open), set the day aside for the enjoyment of birds and raising critical funding for New Jersey Audubon or the conservation cause of your choice.

The biggest change is you can put together a team of birders each located anywhere in New Jersey, or in select states, most of which are part of the Atlantic Flyway. Competitive teams must focus on their home states.

Non-competitive teams (ie. Level II NJ Audubon Ambassadors) can compile a checklist from more than one state. All teams can take advantage of digital communication and social media to find new ways to communicate their sightings to each other and to one primary checklist manager.
