Bird-a-thon 2022 Nature Activities

Looking to challenge yourself while you're out birding? Here are some fun, family-friendly activities to engage and challenge everyone while you bird.

Nature Activities

There are so many great ways to get outside and have fun while you bird, especially for families participating together.

Pick up 10 pieces of trash
Draw a picture of a bird
Share a picture you took of one of the birds you spotted
Make up a silly bird name—get creative!
Fill up your birdfeeder only if it won't attract unwanted wildlife* and/or make your own pine cone birdfeeder.
Complete the Bird Word Search
Take the Bird Match-Up Quiz
Finish a Spring Bingo card by finding all items in a row, column, or diagonal line!
Complete a Nature Coloring Page using crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc.
Go green! Only use carbon-free ways of traveling (walk, bike, kayak, etc.) during Bird-a-thon.
Find the items on the Scavenger Hunt.

*If you live in an area where bear activity has been documented, all seed & suet feeders should be removed from April 1–November 1 to avoid attracting Black Bears.
