A Day of Birding for Conservation

Another Successful World Series of Birding!

The countdown is over! Thank you for supporting The Marshketeers and our fine feathered friends in the 2026 NJ Audubon World Series of Birding! Our final counts are in: 183 miles traveled, 16,795 steps taken, and 133 species identified, including our bonus bird, the Marsh Wren.

Our team got started early to listen for night-calling birds at 3:00 am, then traveled throughout the day, battling wind, rain, and those pesky no-see-ums gnats, all to wrap up at sunset at the Upper Township rookery.

Your support goes beyond this marathon day; it helps drive our mission of conservation, education, and research daily, knowing that there are people like you who support us, our environment, and the amazing creatures that live here.

If you did not get the chance to support sooner, don’t worry, there is still time to donate to conservation, and if you made an online pledge, please contact us at development@wetlandsinstitute.org. 

We cannot thank you enough for your help in raising these essential funds for bird conservation.
