October Big Day is a 24-hour global celebration of birds. Cornell Ornithology and the National Audubon Society coordinate this citizen science initiative. The goal is to count as many birds as possible and report them on Cornell’s eBird platform. This year’s October Big Day is scheduled for Saturday, October 12.
Old Rag Master Naturalists will be sponsoring a bird walk on October Big Day at Cedar Mountain Battlefield. Registration is required and will open on September 29.
