Celebrate Birds!
Our 2026 Birdathon is April 18-May 17 – Celebrate Birds for a Great Cause
During “Celebrate Birds,” our month-long celebration of spring migration from April 18 to May 17, join us for a variety of bird walks and our most anticipated fundraising event of the year: the Loudoun Wildlife Birdathon. (More information on the 2026 walks coming soon.)
What’s a Birdathon? It’s like a walk-a-thon, but we count bird species instead of miles. It’s a fun, inspiring way to connect with nature while protecting it at the same time!
Support the Birdathon in any or all of these three ways:
- Sign up to form a team of at least two people and no more than six
- Make a flat donation OR make a pledge by species
- Spread the word!
All are welcome, whether you’re an expert birder or just love watching birds in your backyard! All funds raised support Loudoun Wildlife’s ongoing mission: to protect, preserve and restore wildlife habitat. See what previous participants have said about the Birdathon.
Use the links below for more information on how you can make this year’s Birdathon as fun, rewarding and impactful as possible. We hope we can count on YOU to count bird species with US during our Birdathon, April 19-May 18!
