Count Birds to Save Birds

Your support of Birdathon, as a donor or fundraiser, directly supports Seattle Audubon's mission to advocate and organize for cities where people and birds thrive. Your financial resources fuel our urban conservation, community science, environmental education, and outreach programs.

Birdathon success has a simple formula: Gather gifts and pledges --> Count species --> Make our community safer for birds through local conservation initiatives. We welcome your participation!
