Participating is easy—you can even be part of Global Big Day from home. If you can spare 5 or 10 minutes, report your bird observations to eBird online or with our free eBird Mobile app. If you have more time, submit checklists of birds throughout the day. You never know what you might spot. Your observations help us better understand global bird populations through products like these animated abundance maps brought to you by eBird Science.
Listen for the thrashers' beautiful song. Look for a bird that has the coloring and shape of a California towhee, but is a bit larger and with a longer tail; the tail is often held an upright angle when the bird is on the ground. Perhaps you will see a thrasher foraging near bushy undergrowth or hear it serenading you from high atop a tree.
