Bird-a-thon 2025
This year, my friend Chloe and I completed this event on Thursday, May 15. Although we got a later start than anticipated, visited only 2 locations, and contended with some strong winds, we had a successful few hours of seeing 41 species and enjoying a nice variety of species, and seeing many babies! We also had a goal to raise $100 as a donation for Denver Audubon, and I’m proud to say we surpassed our goal. If you would still like to contribute a donation for the birds and support our team efforts, you can donate here.
All the money goes to Denver Audubon and is used to help birds in many ways, from educational programs, to clean up events, to research, and more. Please enjoy a few images from our 2025 Bird-a-thon event!
