This is the 13th year I’ve been the gang leader of the notorious Finch Gang. We know what we’re doing - raising serious money for birds in Wisconsin - and we’re not stopping for anything. Give - or else!

Birds matter a lot to me, as I know they do to you. While thoroughly enjoying the birds, I’ll continue to do as much as I can to reverse the downward trend in their numbers. Besides participating in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon, I volunteer for several bird organizations: Bird City Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Chimney Swift Working Group, the Birdathon and Bird Protection Fund advisory committees, and I’m the chair of the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Partnership.

Another way I'm hoping to help, in the long run, was to establish the Birds of Wisconsin Legacy Fund at the Natural Resources Foundation a couple of years ago. This fund will provide stable funding for priority bird conservation projects in Wisconsin into the future. Anyone who wishes to can contribute any amount of funding at any time (be sure to note that your donation is for this fund). https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/Wisconservation Please let me know if you’d like to know more.
