Why I Bird For Point Blue

I’m taking part in Point Blue’s 2026 Bird‑A‑Thon. Between September 15 and October 15, I’ll choose a 24‑hour window to see how many bird species I can identify while supporting Point Blue's work to conserve birds, other wildlife, and the ecosystems they rely on.

Please consider making a donation or pledging an amount per species I find. Thank you for your support. You can learn more about Point Blue Conservation Science at www.pointblue.org.


You can make a pledge per bird species or a one-time donation. Donate online by clicking "donate" above, or mail a check made out to Point Blue Conservation Science to ATTN: Rich Stallcup Bird-A-Thon, Point Blue Conservation Science, 3820 Cypress Dr STE 11, Petaluma, CA 94954 (please include my name in the memo line).
