We are pleased to announce the upcoming Nevada Bird-a-thon from May 7th to 16th, hosted by our friends at Great Basin Bird Observatory. What is Bird-a-thon you ask? Bird-a-thon is an bird watching competition with our great State of Nevada aimed at raising money for bird conservation and science. You can either participate by sponsoring a bird team of your choice or setting up your own team.

We at Lahontan Audubon Society will be participating by hosting a solo team this year, led by our VISTA member, Parker Flickinger (in the photo above). To learn more about our team our Lahotan Audubon Society team, click here.

Bird-a-thon can help support Lahotan Audubon Society through your donations. When giving a donating to Bird-a-thon, you have the option to request 25% of your to donation be sent to support Lahontan Audubon Society. You and can also sponsor our team directly, and as we have already requested the 25% proceeds to our chapter.

In addition to supporting our Chapter, several public bird field trips will be offered as part of the Bird-a-thon festivites. These are hosted by volunteers and even our Lahontan Audubon Chapter at Oxbow Nature Center during the Global Big Day Birding Celebration on May 8th.  To register directly for our Oxbow Field Trip, click here.
