Hey bird lovers, here’s something you can do with the whole family this Thanksgiving weekend – it’s October Big Day on Oct 12, 2024.

October Big Day is your chance to join with other bird lovers around the world in recording the birds you see right here at Steenburg Lake.

Last October nearly 36,332 people from 191 countries submitted 83,735 checklists with eBird. In Canada, a total of 337 species were reported through 6,728 checklists from all 13 provinces and territories. You can explore all of the Canadian 2023 October Big Day stats here.

Whether you are here at the lake, or home, or travelling on 12 October, you can join in this global celebration. Participate from anywhere—even from home!

TIP: Download the free Merlin Bird ID app to help you to identify the birds you see and hear on October Big Day. Upload your recordings to your eBird checklists to help Merlin identify more birds by sound.
