Befitting this crazy year, our 2021 Birdathon will be somewhat low-key. Goals: enjoy spending time outdoors, see some birds, and raise money for Tucson Audubon. That's it! We'll stay in the city and bird local hotspots around Tucson. We will make up the route as we go along, with fingers crossed for good weather and a nice pulse of migrants moving through.
The date: April 24
Team members: Scott Olmstead, Will Russell, Malcolm Chesworth, Carl Englander
Rough estimate: 65-80 species expected?
Donations of all amounts from armchair birdathoners, oriole-lovers, and TAS supporters are greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for your contributions!

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 30 years!
Each Birdathoner's personal network of supporters is what helps makes Birdathon possible.
Birdathon donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Tucson Audubon Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
