Now is the time to gather your team and register for the 28th Annual Birding Classic! The event will offer participant favorites that teams return for year after year, as well as a new regional version of the popular Sunrise to Noon Tournament. 

So, gather your friends, family, fellow bird or nature club members, and colleagues to join your team for the 2024 Birding Classic!

Registration deadline: April 1
Tournament Dates: April 15-May 15 (your choice of day).

Novice birders, expert listers and everyone in between are welcome! There are many categories to choose, including both regional and statewide options. There are half day, full day, and weeklong tournaments and categories for a "dispersed flock" or an "intact flock" to allow you to bird solo or in a group.

Participants receive t-shirts with the official 2024 artwork of an American Kestrel, by Amber Leung. Stay tuned for a vote on shirt color coming soon!

Registration fees and sponsorship dollars go toward Conservation Grants for birding, nature tourism, and habitat restoration and enhancement projects throughout Texas. Select winning teams will help choose which projects are funded. The more teams that register, the more funds we can award!
