These accomplishments are possible thanks, in large part, to the efforts of local and regional conservation groups around the world including the eBird portal collaborator network and the Global Birding team. This phenomenal achievement belongs to every single person who took part. Never before has this much information about birds been gathered on a single day. eBirders gathered more than 3.2 million bird sightings on 13 May, which are now freely available to support conservation and research worldwide. Almost half of those species were photographed and ten percent had their sounds recorded on Global Big Day. Together, the global birding community reported 7,636 species of birds on nearly 150,000 eBird checklists. That’s an astounding seven thousand more people who went birding compared to last year’s Global Big Day. On Saturday, 13 May, more than 58,700 people joined together to celebrate birds for Global Big Day on World Migratory Bird Day. Every Global Big Day recognizes our connection to birds, nature, and each other. Birds have the power to inspire and unite. ![]()
