Bay Area Bird Photo Big Day

Get Ready for the California Fall Challenge (CFC), a free, collaborative, virtual Bird-a-Thon where everyone works together to take photos of as many species as possible in 24 hours.

It’s almost time for the California Fall Challenge – San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory’s (SFBBO) largest fundraising campaign each year that raises money to support their work to promote sustainability in the Bay Area and beyond by engaging communities in avian science, habitat restoration, and education. This year’s campaign runs from September through October. Check out the new 2023-2026 Strategic Plan to learn about the exciting work this campaign will support.

During the CFC, there will be a number of fun activities including our Band-a-Thon, Bird Photo Big Day, Online Silent Auction, popular CFC T-Shirts, and more. The SFBBO is looking for help in the following ways:

• Donations of items, experiences, and gift cards for the online silent auction
• Volunteers to help promote the auction to the public, through social media, or to their friends and family are also needed.
• Volunteers to help with the fall Bird Photo Big Day
