The Kingbirders (the quartet of Luke Safford, his son Brock, Alex Patia, and Donito Burgess) are ready for another year of Birdathon and we hope you'll join us as part of our team! Last year we set our personal record of 181 species, and you can see our full list here

This year we'll be doing the Big Birdathon Day on Friday, April 3, which is a bit earlier than normal, but it's the only day we can get all four of together! This may affect our total, but we are setting a goal of 180 species and we'll do our best to get there. The plan is to start in the Chiricahua Mountains and then head west, possibly ending in the Catalinas, or out looking for Burrowing Owls near Marana.

Our main goal is to increase the number of donors/pledges to our team by 25% this year. In 2025 we had 85 individual donors/pledges so that means we are shooting for 107 donors/pledgers involved with The KingBirders! We'll see if we can get there together.

Thanks for supporting Tucson Bird Alliance and the important conservation work being done in our region!
