The Big Sit! is an annual, international birding day sponsored by Bird Watcher's Digest and Swarovski Optik. This family fun event was founded by the New Haven (Connecticut) Bird Club to promote the sport of birding.
What happens at the Big Sit?
The Big Sit! is like a Big Day or a bird-a-thon—participants tally bird species seen or heard within a given time period. It’s called the Big Sit for a good reason—it’s like a tailgate party for birders. Bring a chair and your binoculars. Snacks will be provided. You also may go with us on a guided bird walk or participate in a kid-friendly activity. This event is FREE of charge and open to the public.
