Getting ready for Birdathon 2024

In a few weeks I will be doing my 40th something birdathon. The object of this birdathon is the Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory. Last week I returned to the BPBO Board of Directors, after a hiatus for a few years. I am one of BPBO’s founding board members, and have a long history with BPBO and before BPBO with Cabot Head, one of my favourite places. BPBO is a non-profit, member-based charity with a mission to promote and foster the study, appreciation and conservation of birds and their habitats in the Bruce Peninsula region of Ontario, Canada. We are the voice for the birds on the Bruce. You can make that voice stronger by supporting my birdathon with a generous donation. Click here to go to my sponsorship page on the Birds Canada Birdathon website.

We really want to get to $3000 of sponsorship. Here is how your money will help. By supporting Gift4BPBOBirds you will help assure meals for young volunteers traveling from around the world to Cabot Head Research Station for hands-on, life-changing positive experiences monitoring birds. Your donations will also help us replace the ageing mist nets in which we capture thousands of birds each year. We were able to replace 11 this year but there are 15, and any net can be rendered unusable by a deer or a bear, both realitively common in the Cabot Head area.

As a volunteer-directed charity, we depend on your support to do the important work we do at Cabot Head, and for promoting conservation of the birds on the Bruce. Please be generous with your support. I will be by doing this birdathon in late May, and have made a generous donation myself. Please join me and many others in supporting our beloved BPBO by clicking here. Help us get to and beyond $3,000. Most of your support will go directly to BPBO, while a portion will support the great work of Birds Canada.
