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
