I am excited to be a new member of the Wrenegades, a team with a proud tradition.  We’re planning to get started early Sunday morning, April 27th, (really early, say around 1AM) and finish up in the dark later that night.  We’re hoping to see somewhere between 100 and 150 species during that period.  Whew, it will be a lot of work by the team, but also a lot of fun, but at the same time for a good cause.

This will be my first spring Birdathon and I am hoping that you will help me to raise money for the programs of the Tucson Audubon.  Please contribute with either a fixed amount, or if you want to really spur out team on, pledge a specific amount per species that we see in the 24 hour period.

Birds have a unique, special, and different meaning to each of us. So too is each of our connection with Tucson Audubon Society personal and distinct. During Birdathon, we combine the love of bird watching during spring migration with support for bird conservation.

Birdathoners are birders and social fundraisers, joining together to make a difference for the birds and habitats of southeast Arizona. Birdathoners continue a tradition that has held strong for over 25 years. 

Each Birdathoner's personal network of supporters is what helps makes Birdathon possible. 

This April, I'm going birding for the birds!
