Why We Bird for Point Blue

Our team is thrilled to be participating in Point Blue's 2025 Rich Stallcup Bird-A-Thon! Now in its 47th 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 our team members reach our fundraising goal by making a donation or by pledging a dollar amount per bird seen.

Thank you for your generous support of our team 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.

We saw or heard 141 species on our birdathon. A complete list is here: https://ebird.org/tripreport/414660. 141 species is below our average, but not too bad considered we weren't able to get into the Petaluma Wastewater Treatment Ponds this year due to construction. Highlights were a Bank Swallow mixed in the Violet-green Swallows on King Ridge Road and a Hooded Merganser on Bodega Farm Pond. Both were new birds for our cumulative team birdathon list. This is the 30th year that the Sonoma County Gray Jays have done the birdathon - we started in 1995 and have only missed one year (2020 due to Covid).
