Hello Tucson Audubon supporters!
The Wrenegades are back for 2023!
MAY 7, 2023 is the day! We'll be sailing the avian seas in search of every bird in Southeast Arizona and are seeking a fun-filled day of high adventure. Of course, we'll hit the desert, riparian areas, grasslands, and the Sky Islands.
THE ROUTE: We're trying yet another new route, starting with owls and morning birds in the Madera Canyon area, then on to the Patagonia area and Willcox before ending on Mt. Lemmon. It will be EPIC!
CRAZY NEWS! I'm also taking a birding trip to North Carolina to find migrating east coast warblers! I'll add this adventure to my recap and feel free to challenge me to find east coast birds!
STAY TUNED for the big recap story at the end!
Thanks so much for supporting me in the past and in 2023. I really appreciate your generosity.
I do hope you can support Tucson Audubon and my team this year. Thank you!

Birdathoners are birders and social fundraisers, joining together to make a difference for the birds and habitats of Southeast Arizona. Birdathoners continue a tradition that has held strong for over 30 years!
Each Birdathoner's personal network of supporters is what helps makes Birdathon possible.
