Father/son duo, Luke and Brock Safford, annually go out in the spring for a "Big Day", and this year we'll be doing it Birdathon style. Exact route and date hasn't been picked yet--but maybe you have an idea for us... We'll keep all of our supporters up-to-date with our plans and we especially encourage "per/species" donations as they keep us going throughout the day! Consider additional creative pledges such as $5 for each species of waterfowl or hummingbird, an extra $1 for every individual trogon, or .25 cents for every individual Kingbird counted. Thanks for supporting the awesome work of Tucson Audubon through Birdathon. Let's go find some birds!

ABOUT Birdathon 2021

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.
