I LOVE birding and one of my favorite things about birding is taking photographs of the birds and sharing the beauty of birds.  For 2026, I will be taking photos of the birds I see during Birdathon. I will then create an online photo album and share all of the species of bird photos I have taken for Birdathon 2026.

I 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 2026 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. 

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