Our skilled team of bird counters and volunteers at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory will set out on a mission to count as many bird species as possible in one day on May 28, 2022, as part of an annual fundraising event supporting the amazing work happening at WPBO! In 2021, a whopping 152 species were counted and the event brought in $6,826.65! Let’s hope this year is just as successful.
This is where you come in! Because our work is 100% donor-funded, Birdathon provides all of our supporters with an opportunity to make a significant impact on our work by making a pledge or direct donation to Birdathon (even after the event). Any amount is helpful, but have some fun with it and consider letting your donation or pledge be inspired by a per-species amount.
If you would like to take a more personal approach and inspire others to donate to Birdathon, you can create your very own fundraising page for Birdathon. This is a fantastic way to share your passion for Michigan birds with your friends and family and encourage their support of WPBO. Creating your fundraising page is quick and easy and will help us reach our goal of $7,500.
When you donate to Birdathon, you will receive the 2022 Birdathon Species List following the event. You can make your donation to Birdathon 2022 online at any time, by visiting wpbo.org/birdathon or by mailing a check to Michigan Audubon, 2310 Science Parkway, Suite 200, Okemos, MI 48864 (please include Birdathon in the memo).
Thank you so much to everyone who supports the work being done at WPBO!
