WELLFLEET The Boston Marathon may be virtual this year but the Bird-a-Thon is live and happening in real time starting Friday.
Mass Audubon sponsors the competition each year, and this year s battle between 13 teams based around Audubon’s Sanctuary regions celebrates the 125th anniversary of the organization, which was founded in 1896 by cousins Harriett Hemenway and Minnie Hall.
The two Bostonians wanted to stop birds from being shot to feather fashionable hats. The first Sanctuary, Moose Hill in Sharon, was opened in 1916 and it’s still a powerhouse in the Bird-a-Thon competition.
Anyone can participate birders, nature lovers, families. But what’s a Bird-a-Thon?

“I grew up fishing the Cape and I’ve watched the seal population grow over the years and completely decimate surf fishing on the back beaches from Race Point to Nauset,” said Matt Perachio of Tighten Up Charters out of Provincetown. “Nobody’s fishing off those beaches anymore.”
“Ten years ago, we never saw seals, but now they’re everywhere,” said Willy Hatch, who’s been fishing the Cape and Islands for over 25 years as the captain of Machaca Charters in Falmouth. “They’re at Squibnocket Beach, Vineyard Sound, the Elizabeth Islands, Woods Hole, the Muskeget Channel. Often, the seals hear me anchor up and set up behind my boat. If I manage to hook a fish, a seal takes it right off my line. It gets worse every year as their population increases and their range expands.”
“For beach lovers who prefer quaint cottages, custard stands, and historic wharves over beachfront go-karts and megaresorts, these are some of the best beach towns the American shoreline has to offer,” wrote the publication about its picks.
