The Detroit Bird Alliance is kicking off the first-ever Great Detroit Bird Off this May, a friendly contest to see which of Detroit’s four big parks — Belle Isle, Rouge, Palmer, or Eliza Howell — racks up the most bird species on the eBird app during peak migration.
Anyone can jump in, from hardcore birders to curious beginners, with reps from the Alliance on-site select Saturdays to help you log sightings and learn the ropes.
It’s fun, it’s community science, and it highlights just how wild Detroit’s parks really are.
Here's the schedule:
- Saturday, May 2 Belle Isle from 8-10a
- Saturday, May 9: Belle Isle from 8-10a
- Saturday, May 16: Eliza Howell Park from 8-10a
- Saturday, May 23: Palmer Park from 8-10a
- Saturday, May 30: Rouge Park from 6-8p
