Description
The Superbowl of Birding is a one-of-a-kind competition across Rockingham County, New Hampshire and Essex County, Massachusetts. Over 12 hours, teams of birders of all ages and abilities work to record the greatest number of species and earn the most points, with rarer birds worth more, competing in 11 categories.
The day ends with a pizza party at Joppa Flats Education Center, where teams trade stories about the birds they found and the ones that got away. Winners are announced at a virtual awards ceremony the following evening, and on Massbird, NHBird, and the Mass Audubon website.
Teams must have a minimum of four and a maximum of seven people. Register and pay for yourself and your teammates in a single transaction (so if your team has 4 adults, register 4 adults). You can also register as an individual, and we will help place you on a team.
