​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. Join the community of young birders working together in this challenge! Also, don’t forget to submit photos and videos of your day in the field. Some of the most outstanding of these will be featured on this page and on our social media channels after the day!
