hawk we invite you to this exciting annual event and
encourage you to bring along friends and family to join
in the fun. The bird-a-thon is not just confined to the
Austin area, so bird-lovers of every region are welcome.
Bird-a-thon 2008 is open to anyone, anywhere!
How can you help? In so many ways!

How can you help? In so many ways!

logging on to our special Birdathon 2008 site (or use the 'Register
Here link to your left) - Collect pledges for other teams

committee - Solicit sponsors, private, foundation or corporate donors or gift
items that can be used for prizes (optics, restaurant or service gift
certificates) - Send in a check!
Team ideas:
- If you've birded with a team previously, we urge you to do so again,
either with the same team or branch out and form new ones, and
get started now. - Plan a team idea and solicit teammates via your own network or
through the Birdathon page on travisaudubon.org - Your team can bird for a half day, full day, or even multi-days. Here
are some suggestions for creative birding:
- Canoe or kayak birding
- Bike birding
- Greenbelt/Hike & Bike trail birding
- Austin Greenbelt birding
- Specific areas such as Only East of I-35
- Challenge teams from other conservation organizations, such as
Sierra Club, Save our Springs, Save Barton Springs, etc. - Teams among TAS committees, such as Latin America
Committee, Field trip committee, etc - Anyone who ever taught a TAS birding class, how about getting your
students together for their 1st Birdathon? - Celebrity birding teams do you know a famous person who might
lend his/her name to help raise funds? - Multi-day trips, such as High Island for migrants, Hill Country for
GCWs, Rockport. - Scout teams or Homeschoolers
- Choose a team theme such as conservation, education, etc.
