After a short break to go build a house, I am back and even more excited about how big a number I can get to this year!  As in past years, I will be counting only birds that I am able to photograph. So your pledges will be based on that total number. I will also be giving away two framed prints of any bird that I photographed for this event, one to the person with the largest amount donated, and the other will be by raffle to all the others who contribute!  Given that I am now working at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds, I will start my day there, and see how far afield I can get....

They are a few ways you can contribute, the first is risk free, simply have a set amount you are willing to pledge. Or, you can designate a pledge for each bird I am able to photograph. The fun really begins with some creative pledges. For example, a bonus for any red bird, or any hummingbird species, bird on a fence post...lets get creative and see what fun stuff you want me to try to capture on film (well digital film shall we say)

I want to thank you in advance for your support of Tucson Audubon, and all the amazing work that they are able to accomplish with these funds!
