The Habitat at Home Ornithological Assessors (HOAs) Birdathon team is comprised of TBA's Urban Conservation team- Kari Hackney, Kim Matsushino, and Olya Weekley.
Our department mission is to protect and conserve birds by creating, protecting and enhancing habitat in urban areas. Birdathon, for us, is the perfect opportunity to highlight great examples of urban habitat, such as Habitat at Home properties, green stormwater infrastructure, parks, and more.
When we go out, we plan to visit Habitat at Home members' yards, Mason Center, Sweetwater Wetlands, El Rio Preserve, Fort Lowell Park, Santa Cruz River Heritage Site and more!
Always Reducing Hazards to Birds!
During our Birdathon, we will be highlighting every case of hazard prevention we encounter! This includes bird-safe windows, capped death pipes, water escape ramps and active efforts to reduce pesticide use. We will also have materials on hand to close open vertical pipes wherever we see them.
With your donation, you are supporting TBA's efforts to create safe urban habitats by planting native plants, reducing hazards to birds, offering safe nesting opportunities and more!
Thank you!
