Annual
Bird-a-Thon
Saturday May 15, 2020
This year we will still try to find as many different species as
possible in a single day. However, we won’t be doing it in groups. We will be
looking for birds, as individuals, not in groups. You can help by birding your
local park, or you can pledge a donation based on the number of species we
find. Pledge today. Pledges can be a flat amount such as $25.00, or you can
pledge a given amount per species such as 25 cents per species. Then, if we see
120 species, your pledge will come to $30.00. Thanks for your generous support!
Remember, even if you’re not participating, please pledge to the Bird-a-thon
to make our efforts worth it and support Hudson River Audubon. Contact Michael
Bochnik if you would like to help count birds
