I am even more excited again this year to be part of the Wrenegades, a team with a proud tradition despite the nutty members and logo.  We’re planning to get started very early in the morning and finish up in the dark later that night.  We’re hoping to beat our previous high during that period, somewhere over 160 species.  We’ve already been hard at work, planning and scouting out potential routes.  Whew, it will be a lot of work by the team, but also a lot of fun and at the same time for a good cause.

I am doing this to raise money for the Tucson Audubon Society, because I believe in the work it does for environmental conservation and education/outreach, and I am hoping that you will help me out in this goal.  Please contribute with either a fixed amount, or if you want to really spur our team on, pledge a specific amount per species that we see in the 24 hour period.  Thanks so much for joining me in supporting this effort.

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!
