My Mission
I'm excited to join this incredible initiative! Golden Gate Bird Alliance's mission to inspire people to protect Bay Area birds is very important to me and I'm proud to help them make a difference. Please support me by giving to my page. Every dollar counts! Thank you.
My minimum goal is 65 species between March 1 and May 1.
A pledge of at least $1.00 per species would be fantastic!

I went to Joseph D. Grant County Park, San Jose. If you are up for the drive down there it is well worth it! Maybe add a drive up to the Lick Observatory. I added seven new species to my overall count. Plus a lifer for me, the Lawrence's Goldfinch! And now I am finished! Thanks so much for joining me on this great fundraising/birding adventure.
