About The Biggest Week In American Birding
In typical years, The Biggest Week In American Birding is a 10-day festival in northwest Ohio, “The Warbler Capital of the World!”, brought to you by Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO).
But... we're not living in typical times (not yet at least!).
We may not be able to go birding together, but we can still gather virtually to celebrate birds and experience the Biggest Week and spring migration in northwest Ohio!
The 2021 virtual Biggest Week In American Birding, May 6-10, will feature a plethora of top-notch keynotes and workshops; a virtual optics alley experience; and we're even going to go live from the field to highlight some of the area's favorite birding spots. We would love to be together in person, side-by-side experiencing the awe of an eye-level Blackburnian Warbler. But this year is different, and we have the unique opportunity to export the Biggest Week like never before. If you can't come to us, then we'll just bring northwest Ohio to YOU!
Birds and the conservation of their habitats is at the heart of the Biggest Week. But the festival is also about people and the Biggest Week and BSBO teams have striven to foster an environment of acceptance, inclusion, and accessibility, granting everyone the opportunity to participate in the birding community.
With people in mind and to show our gratitude for the continued support we've received during these challenging times, we are thrilled to announce that the 2021 Biggest Week will be free to BSBO members! But even if you're not a member (although we hope you'll consider joining!) a one-time $35 registration fee will give you access to the festival's entire programming.
