Each year, Arctic Audubon Society teams up with the Alaska Bird Observatory for the Farthest North Birdathon - an opportunity for you to Go Birding for a Cause no matter where you live or what birding skill level you possess. Proceeds from the Farthest North Birdathon support education, research, and conservation programs for the Arctic Audubon Society and the Alaska Bird Observatory.
Farthest North Birdathon The basic premise of Birdathon is to collect pledges based on how many bird species you can find on any day you choose during the Birdathon month. Hard-core teams might cover many miles in a 12- or 24-hour quest, while other folks just walk around their neighborhood for a few hours. Arctic Audubon Society and the Alaska Bird Observatory offer guided Birdathon walks and field trips in Fairbanks for novice birders. If you’re not up for collecting pledges, you can make a flat donation. Every penny counts for the birds! Birdathon information is published in the April issue of The Redpoll and is available at Alaska Bird Observatory's website. |
