ESAS Bird-a-thon
International Migratory Bird Day (see http://www.birdday.org/) is an independent assessment of avian abundance and diversity performed by birders around the world. The ESAS uses the Inyo County IMBD totals to base our Bird-a-thon fundraiser.

Spring
has returned and excitement fills the air. Thousands of birds are migrating
northward through the Eastern Sierra. Many grace our trees, meadows, and lakes
in full breeding plumage. How many can we find in one day? Last year, Eastern
Sierra Audubon birders tallied 212 species!
The ESAS Bird-a-thon is a fun challenge, but the challenge doesn’t end in one day. The challenge of our Birds-in-the-Classroom program is to educate youth about the importance of our natural environment and protecting important habitat in the Eastern Sierra. The ESAS Bird-a-thon is the most important fundraising campaign for the ESAS education programs, newsletter, and outreach. Thank you for your support!
