Hi Everyone!
Wow, we cannot believe we will kick off the Turkey Point and Dans Rock Bird Counts tomorrow (8/1).
Can you join MBP and our partners in supporting these important counts?

Our expert counters will once again document fall migration each day from August 1st through November 30th. The data we collect is truly invaluable, an important window into eastern U.S. migration that becomes more valuable with each passing year of data. The data is shared in near real-time via Trektellen (embedded on the MBP web site), daily in eBird, and seasonally in the peer-reviewed journal Maryland Birdlife.
Please welcome new lead counters Josh Ward (Dans Rock) and Levi Parker (Turkey Point). They'll be supported by primary alternates Ben McGrew and Aaron Reb. Many others will lend support, including nearly all of our previous counters, who are all passionate about documenting bird migration and about 2024 being another big success.
You can see our previous season reports linked here on the MBP bibliography:
