Birdathon 2013 is a one-day, 12-hour event, held on Saturday, February 23, 2013. The event is like a walk-a-thon, but instead of collecting pledges for miles walked, Birdathon participants collect pledges for finding and counting bird species across the Rio Grande Valley. It’s a competitive and educational event for any level of birdwatcher and a fun way to help protect birds and habitat! You can join one of our teams, organize your own team, or count independently. You can also participate simply by making a Birdathon donation!Teams for kids and adults, beginners to experts will be formed, or you can form a team of your own!
The deadline to FORM a team has already passed (Monday, January 28th), but there are still ways you can participate:
• Participate as an individual
• Join a group
• Make a general donation or sponsor a participant**
• Celebrate with us on Feb. 24th for the Birdathon 2013 Picnic and Awards Ceremony from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m.
** You can pledge for one or more teams, either with a specific amount or by number of species that team(s) is able to see on February 23rd. For example, if you pledge 20 cents per species and the team sees 80 species, your contribution would be $32. You can also send us a lump sum or pledge a specific amount per bird for the total number of species seen by all teams. Whether you pledge modestly or generously, we are grateful for your support. Ask your family, friends, and co-workers to pledge as well. If you have any questions call Chris or Sarah at 968-3275.
