In April, I will be birding in the highlands of Guatemala while scouting for a future JB Journeys trip. (January 2018 to find the Golden-cheeked Warbler in its winter home)  While scouting I'll be staying at Posada del Quetzal and I sure hope I get to see one or two. 

Please pledge for my efforts to help Travis Audubon keep up the great work that has been done for more than 60 years (I have been a member for almost 30).

Now more than ever we must continue the battle for the Endangered Species Act, to protect land from over-development, keep our rivers and lakes clean, clean up the air, and guarantee a clean and green world for our children and their children. 

Birdathon teams are making birding count for conservation! Check out the fundraiser profiles and consider making a contribution that will support wildlife conservation and education.

You can take part too! Birdathon participants plan an afternoon or day of birding and compete individually or as a team to win awards for highest bird species count and highest donations collected. Much like a walkathon, fundraisers collect pledges to raise money for conservation. This friendly competition is open to all levels of birders. If you would like assistance setting up a fundraising page or team of your own, please contact Nancy Sprehn at volunteer@travisaudubon.org or 512-300-2473.
