SDBA U-Terns

The U-Terns are a team comprised of San Diego Bird Alliance staff, excited to further vital conservation, education, and advocacy work through a full day of birding!

Here's what we're doing:

• Similar to a walkathon where you count steps and raise money, the Birdathon is an opportunity to raise funds for San Diego Bird Alliance as teams count bird species. The U-Terns are one of several teams participating. You can learn more about the overall Birdathon fundraiser by clicking the logo at the top-left of this page.

• Each team's bird count must take place in a 24 hour period between April 11 and May 11.

• The SDBA U-Terns will be conducting our birding on Sunday, April 13 from midnight to midnight.

• We're planning to bird together at the San Diego River Mouth, where we we're actively working to protect birds endangered birds like the California Least Tern, Ridgway's Rail, and Belding's Savannah Sparrow from habitat degradation and disturbance. We hope to see these target birds during our Birdathon! We will also be birding the rest of the day throughout the places we work and live, highlighting the amazing biodiversity of our region.

• We are hoping to raise over $4,000 in donations and observe at least 125 bird species.

Please consider supporting our efforts by giving to our page. You can leave a flat donation to our team or make a pledge per species when donating to a team member (both are tax-deductible). Every dollar counts for our feathered friends!

We're so grateful for your support of San Diego's amazing wildlife and habitats. More information about our work and mission can be found on the San Diego Bird Alliance website.
