Hi All, The past two years I’ve been part of the Point Blue Bird-A-Thon (BAT) in western Marin County.
This year I am starting a Bird-A-Thon-team to bird all of Marin County or your patch out side of Marin County.
I’d like to invite you to be on this new Bird-A-Thon team.
Team name is American Kestrels in honor of the Breeding Pair of Kestrels in Olompali State Park.
The Bird-A-Thon starts September 15th, ends on Oct 15th.
The Team Fundraising donation commitment is up to you, it can be .50 cents pre-species or one dollar (or more if you wish) per species.
Whatever the donation maybe, the team can see your species count and contribution on the team
For example, if we see / you 75 species, I will donate to Point Blue $75.00 (check or CC on-line).
We can schedule a “team birding” or you can bird and contribute individually if you prefer.
Either option is fine, this is about citizen science, habitat preservation, habitat rehabilitation and conservation of sensitive bird habitats. There is the link to the registration page
