Greeting birders and bird-supporters,

In honor of the next generation of birders (see grandkids Cami, Adam and Mason in photo) I am hereby inviting you to support our birdathon team, Aveventura.  I can't even remember how many birdathons I have done now but I do know that birdathon day is my favorite day of the year!  The best part for this year (besides the birds of course) is spending a whole day with great friends Linda Stitzer, Mary Jondrow and Mary Black... and the legendary Margaritas in Madera at the end of the day.
