Hello! We are Janel, Roswitha, Nancy, Sherry, Taylor, and new team member Bea. Together, we are Team Kinda Hawkward! This is our second year as a team, and we can't wait to participate in Birdathon again. There are so many things to look forward to...
Will Sherry's encyclopedic knowledge of birds from her decades running the Tucson Audubon library lead us to a win?
Will Nancy's visit to Panama bag us hundreds of new species?
Will Janel's fashion sense outshine the most intricate of plumages?
Will Roswitha gravely injure herself again?
Will the team kick Taylor out for making too many bird puns?
Will Bea see her favorite bird in the world, the correcaminos?
Stay tuned to find out! Five of us will be birding at Sweetwater Wetlands and Madera Canyon and Nancy will be birding in PANAMA (and rudely did not invite the rest of us).
Thanks for supporting our team!

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.
