Why I Bird For Point Blue

I am thrilled to be participating in Point Blue's 2024 Rich Stallcup Bird-A-Thon! Now in its 46th year, this event is an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow as a nature-loving community and to raise conservation funds to secure a healthy planet. The goal is to identify as many bird species as possible in a 24-hour period between September 15 and October 15. Please consider helping me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation or by pledging a dollar amount based on the number of bird species I see.

Thank you for your generous support and help in spreading the word. To learn more about Point Blue Conservation Science and their climate-smart conservation initiatives, visit their website at www.pointblue.org.


You can make a pledge per bird species or a one-time donation on my individual fundraising page.
