This is my third year to participate in the annual Tucson Audubon Birdathon. Last year I saw 99 species with my birding friends Marie Davis and Andrea Serrano – we call our team the Birdini’s. This year my goal is to raise $3000 to help protect birds and their environment. We are birding on April 21^st to find as many bird species as possible and we are hoping to see 100 species.

The dedicated staff at Tucson Audubon does so much to inspire people to enjoy and protect birds and their habit and it is why I feel it is so important to help their cause! They provide outstanding educational presentations and field trips. have programs to eliminate invasive plant species, plant 14,000 saguaro cactus seedlings to deal with the loss from the drought, and help birds like Lucy’s Warblers with their nest box program and so much more. All of the money donated stays in Tucson and the donation is tax deductible.

You have two ways to contribute and no amount is too small to help achieve my goal. You can make a flat donation or you can pledge an amount to make us work even harder to find different species of birds. For example, you could pledge a $1 for each bird we find, $5 for a roadrunner or your favorite bird, $25 for an owl, $50 for an eagle, or a specific amount for the number of yellow birds, or birds that begin with a certain letter- be creative with your pledge. It makes our day even more fun when we have to decide where to go to see your target birds. 

As a Thank You for making a Donation, the Birdini’s are leading a Bird Walk at Sweetwater Wetlands at 7 AM on April 29^th. Join us for a fun time and leisurely stroll as we admire the birds at a local hotspot.

Thank you for supporting my Birdathon. I appreciate YOU and your contributions to Tucson Audubon!
