Oakland Bird Alliance Nuthatch Open

Some of us Washtenaw folks love participating in this annual competitive birding event from Oakland Bird Alliance. Find as many species as possible anywhere in Oakland County until 4:00 PM and then meet later (location TBD) for awards presentations and a cookout. Checklists need to be submitted by 4:00 PM or a species will be deducted for every minute late. Teams consist of 2 to 4 members, and all members must see or hear the species for it to be listed. Youth teams must be at least 50% youth (under 18 years of age) to be eligible. Check the Oakland Bird Alliance website for the entry form and more details.

The registration form will be available later this summer. Contact Kayla Niner at or Jeff Stacey at
