OFO's Birding at Home Challenge - May 1st - May 31st, 2021
Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) is excited to announce the Second Annual Birding at Home Challenge.
Our Birding at Home Challenges have been both very successful and a lot of fun! Thousands of Ebird checklists have been submitted over the past year and birders have discovered some great local areas to bird, while having the opportunity to win some great prizes! With the current mandate of spending time close to home again this spring, the OFO is launching The Second Annual birding at Home Challenge.
Participants will have a chance to win great weekly prizes and two grand prizes, awarded in honour of World Migratory Bird Day on May 8th and at the end of the challenge on May 31st.
For more information and to register go to Birding at Home 2021 Challenge, listed under Events.
