Join Scott Olmstead of Tropical Birding and the Scott's Orioles team for a Big Day on Saturday, April 23rd
We'll bird the Santa Catalina Mountains from bottom to top over the course of one long day, and aim to see a selection of the representative bird species found in each life zone as we go. We'll start at dawn with riparian habitat in the Tanque Verde vicinity and then bird the Sonoran Desert at the foot of the mountains before continuing upward through the oak, pine, and fir forests toward the top of the mountains. Our target is to see and/or hear 90-115 species. If we are lucky we may even see our namesake bird!
Fundraising of $200+ is recommended to join this team in the field for the Big Day. Ask your friends and family to donate to your Birdathon effort on this trip! You can join Scott's Orioles here. Donations of all amounts are appreciated from birders and supporters!
Group size limited to 8 people
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 and May, I'm going birding for the birds!
