This special program recognizes the high number of trips the BBC offers during spring peak migration and the large number of participants, both members and non-members, who enjoy the joy of spring birding.
All new members who join during this period will have their name entered in a special drawing to win a pair of Nikon binoculars or one of three BBC baseball hats. The drawing will take place by June 7, and the winner will be announced on the BBC website.
Hint – a BBC membership makes a great gift!
