WPBO Birdathon

You pledge.
We count.
Birds thrive.

Our skilled team of bird counters and volunteers set out on a mission to count as many bird species as possible on May 25, 2024, for Birdathon, an annual fundraising event supporting the fantastic work at Michigan Audubon’s Whitefish Point Bird Observatory. This year, 141 species were counted!

Birdathon allows all of our supporters to make a significant impact on our work by donating to Birdathon (even after the event). Any amount is helpful, but have some fun with it and consider letting a per-species amount inspire your donation.

  • $5 per species = $705
  • $2 per species = $282
  • $1 per species = $141
  • $.50 per species = $70.50
  • $.25 per species = $35.25

By supporting Birdathon with your donation, you not only help us reach our fundraising goal of $ 10,000 but also receive the exclusive 2024 Birdathon Species List, a testament to your contribution and our gratitude.

WPBO is continuing more than 40 years of bird conservation — let’s celebrate this with another successful Birdathon, protecting this birding paradise and its inhabitants, and supporting our research for decades to come.
