I LOVE birding and one of my favorite things about birding is taking photographs of the birds and sharing the beauty of birds.  For Birdathon 2025,  I will be taking photos of the species I see in Costa Rica for seven days in March and in Southern Arizona for seven days in April. I will then create an online photo album and share all of the species of bird photos I have taken for Birdathon 2025.

Photo of Peggy Steffens holding binocularsI am so grateful to Tucson Bird Alliance for all they have done to help me become a birder and I want to give back by participating in the 2025 Birdathon.

The more I work with Tucson Bird Alliance, the more I am impressed with their work to inspire people to protect and enjoy birds and their habitat. Staff members and volunteers are committed to making a positive impact in Southern Arizona. I have participated in their efforts to eradicate invasive species, count birds on the Threatened Bird List to find ways to improve their habitat, planted saguaros, volunteered at the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival and I Iead birding field trips. Your contribution will help continue these programs and protect the beautiful birds that brighten our lives and their habitat. 

This year I want to do all I can to help Tucson Bird Alliance because they have lost access to more than $1.4 million in habitat restoration funding due to the Federal Funding Freeze. I hope that you will join me with a donation to Tucson Bird Alliance. All of the money donated stays in Tucson and the donation is tax deductible.

Thank you for supporting Birdathon. I appreciate YOU and your contributions to Tucson Bird Alliance!
