Birdathon Fundraising

Taking a little break from Mexico, spring has sprung in Ontario! And as a result, the annual passage of many thousands of thrushes, sparrows, tanagers, orioles, and everyone's favourite- the warblers, has begun! I'm already up to somewhere around 15 warbler species in Ontario already, without even going close to Pelee! And pelee, I leave super early Wednesday morning, and I'll be there straight until Tuesday. Let me know if you're there at the same time, I can add you to my big list of people who I'm trying to bump into, crazy how many people go to Pelee! Interesting thing is, this is actually my first time to the point, I've always gone to the Island. We'll see which is "better". And then the next weekend (on the Saturday), I'm doing a team big day in the Long Point area! Being related to the Great Canadian Birdathon, somewhere around 25% of funds go to Bird Studies Canada, then 75% goes to a place of your choosing. I have chosen Ruthven, the banding station I regularly go to, which is also where all of the team members came from. Ruthven relies pretty much entirely on donations, specifically this Birdathon, to pay for banding supplies and other vital things. I know not too many people read this blog, but if any of you anonymous readers are feeling particularly generous, I'd really appreciate a donation, every little bit helps! We expect to see in the neighborhood of 150 spexies, and are shooting for 155! This would set a new team rexord, and it is sure going to be hard! Even if you don't donate, secretly cheer us on, and read my summary post!

Thanks so much!!!!
