Support my team in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon!

Birds need our help! North America has lost over 3 billion birds since the 1970s, but we can help #BringBirdsBack. By donating to my page, you're supporting the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin's Bird Protection Fund, which funds Wisconsin's highest priority bird conservation projects.

I've been busy with a project on grassland nesting birds at Pheasant Branch Conservancy where I've volunteered since the mid-90's. Dedicated birders provide the information, and I assemble the spreadsheets and do the calculations. They've inspired me to get out my binoculars and get birding!

Make a donation online by clicking "donate" above, or mail a check to: Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, ATTN: Great Wisconsin Birdathon, 211 S. Paterson St., Suite 100, Madison, WI 53703 (and include our team's name in the memo line!)

Thanks to Cayla for organizing the team - and thanks to everyone for their support! I'm a fledgling birder, and was amazed to identify 67 different birds from 33 species during Birdathon. Highlights for me were Carolina Wrens gathering nesting materials, several Indigo Buntings, and nesting Baltimore Orioles.

Your Donation Makes a Difference For Birds

Donations made to the Great Wisconsin Birdathon support the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin’s Bird Protection Fund, which has given out over $1.2 million towards Wisconsin’s highest priority bird conservation projects since its inception in 2009.

Whether it's creating Piping Plover habitat, rearing Whooping Crane chicks, monitoring Kirtland's Warbler nests, supporting community initiatives for bird-friendly neighborhoods, engaging new and underrepresented voices in the birding community, building impactful collaborations to protect Wisconsin's Important Bird Areas, protecting our neotropical migrants on their long migratory journeys to Central America ... the Bird Protection Fund is there to help.

Your donations make this work possible. Thank you for supporting on-the-ground conservation and being there #ForTheBirds!
