Birdathon
Join us for Birdathon, one of our major fundraisers. It is similar to a walkathon or marathon, except participants raise money for Denver Audubon by birding (not walking or running, whew!). We welcome individuals, couples, and groups at all levels of birding expertise. Please, don’t hesitate; we genuinely appreciate any and all efforts to help with fundraising.
Proceeds fund our school, family, bird banding, and conservation programs. Team members collect pledges from family, friends, co-workers, and anyone else who wants to support your team and our awesome organization. Our goal is to raise $50,000. We encourage NEW teams to register and existing teams to bring on new participants.
BIRD BANDING
Bird banding is a national program by the US Geological Survey and the Canadian Wildlife Service aimed at avian research. It involves applying uniquely numbered bands to birds' legs to track their distribution, movements, population, life span, and causes of death. Each spring, Denver Audubon hires a wildlife biologist from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies to band birds at Chatfield State Park, providing a rare chance to experience wild birds up close in Colorado.
