So, that time has rolled around again and I am excited to be a member of the Wrenegades birding team, with the opportunity to raise money for a worthy organization and have fun at the same time. This year, we’re celebrating our team being able to bird altogether for the first time in a couple of years by prioritizing our time birding and less time driving.
I do this to raise money for the Tucson Audubon Society, because I believe in the work it does for environmental conservation and education/outreach. While letting me pretend to still be a scientist, collecting and analyzing data on bird populations in the southwest borderlands, I have also been able to participate in projects ranging from putting webcams in nest boxes to using voice-recognition software to find specific vocalizations amongst hundreds of hours of our sound recordings from the field. In this coming year, I’m hoping to help with new projects in redesigning the Finding Birds book of the future and installing MOTUS tracking stations for migrating birds. I’m asking you to please contribute towards those goals and thanks so much for joining me in supporting this effort.

Birds have a unique, special, and different meaning to each of us. So, too, is each of our connection with Tucson Audubon Society personal and distinct. During Birdathon, we combine the love of bird watching during spring migration with support for bird conservation.
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.
Birdathon donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Tucson Audubon Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
