10 Beaches and Birding Challenge - Join us at any time

10 BEACHES AND BIRDING CHALLENGE

Since large group activities are not possible this year, we are offering Kodiak a 10 Beaches & Birding Challenge to encourage families and others to visit Kodiak’s beaches and look for our feathered friends throughout the summer. 

The challenge is to see one unique bird at each of the 10 Kodiak beaches. The challenge runs from May 16th to Sept 7th, 2020. 

Audubon will provide participants with a packet that contains a guide with the 10 beach locations and photos birds that are seen in the summer in Kodiak. Also, each kit will have a notebook/passport to record information about each bird, and a Beaches and Birding sticker.

Anyone who finishes the challenge will receive a bird feeder kit to put together and put up in your yard for fall and winter.  

Sign-up at any time by emailing kodiakaudubon@gmail.com with your family name, address, and the names of individuals participating.
