2024 Spring Migratory Bird Count

We invite you to participate in our annual spring migratory bird count on Sunday, May 12th, as we observe the return of migratory birds to their northern breeding grounds after wintering in warmer climates.

Join us in charting these bird populations alongside esteemed experts such as Dr. Adam Mitchell from Tarleton State University, and the University of Delaware team, including Emily Baisden and Will Almeida.

Following Audubon bird count rules, birders will make 15 five-minute stops from the West End to the East End of Fishers Island. At each timed stop, birders count birds and call out what they see. Our experts will lead the count and answer your questions about migratory birds.

We hope to see you at this fun, informative outdoor event, celebrating the spring season at Fishers Island.
