Results for 2021 YBN Big Day!

​The Young Birders Network Big Day is an event for young birders globally to come together in a virtual community and enjoy birding everywhere. Whether it be Argentina or Angola, England or Ecuador, young birders can connect via our common passion: birding. This year we beat our original goal of seeing 1000 species collectively. 

This year we had over 150 participants from 13 countries. As a group we saw 45,000 individual birds and in the end we got a cumulative total of 1,377 species. 

We averaged 17.2 species per checklist and 82% of all checklists were Traveling. The average checklist lasted 121 minutes. The average participant visited 3.4 locations on the big day, as a group we covered over 350 different locations.
