About

If the Sax-Zim Bog Brrrrdathon is too cold for your style of birding, why not try the Greater Sax-Zim Bog Big Day/Big Week? This event is a birdathon with a twist… not just one twist… multiple twists! Participants can compete in a Big Day, Big Week, by non-motorized means, or by photographing the birds found in the Sax-Zim Bog! You can make this event as much of an adventure as you would like, all while supporting conservation efforts by the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog!
