A day filled with opportunities for bird enthusiasts!

Interested in birding out on the land with the Birdathon team? (Meets at 6:30am at main Visitor Center lot)

Birdathon: Join birders in the main Visitor Center parking lot at 6:30 a.m. to be part of a team that will attempt to cover all of Riveredge, searching for as many species as possible throughout the morning and early afternoon. To participate, contact Carl Schwartz [email protected]

Donations are appreciated to help support the Noel J. Cutright Bird Club since this is the club’s only fund-raising yearly event. If you can’t donate at the event but still wish to, please contact Carl (email listed above) to submit a donation!

Are you an early bird who is excited to look for owls? (Meets at 4:00 am)

Early Morning Owling: If you want to help with the early morning owling at 4:00 am, contact Carl Schwartz at [email protected]

Interested in observing bird banding? (Drop in during 7:30am – NOON window, West parking lot)

Bird banders will be working out of Connie’s Classroom, the building just to the left of the West (River Outpost) parking lot. From 7:30am – noon, please feel free to drop by to observe the process and learn from the banding team. Find us out on the porch! We’re happy to show you how banding works, and talk about how the data gained contributes to Riveredge’s 30+ year legacy of avian research. Just be sure to approach quietly to avoid stress to the birds. 

The Bandathon rain date is May 11th.

All ages | Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
