We came, we birded, we conquered....but still didn't quite meet the fundraising target.  IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE! Our team saw at least 119 birds (we are still comparing lists), even with the fog that covered the island on Friday night.

It is a bird-brained idea, but also bird brilliant!  Bird-A-Thon, May 15-16, 2009, was Felix Neck's annual fundraiser in which people went birding over a 24-hour time period and collected pledges.  It works like this -- I (along with my team members) bird, you donate, and Felix Neck wins. 

Your contributions help Felix Neck to continue our conservation and education work on the Vineyard and beyond. Educating, inspiring and fostering a lifelong love of nature is what we do best. Help us by supporting us through this year's Bird-A-Thon.

You can make a donation in any amount or donate per species seen.  If you donate $1 per species and we see 100 species, your donation is $100.  Donations in a specific amount (not per species) can be made through this website which is simple, fast and totally secure. To make a donation per species, go to www.massaudubon.org/birdathon.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to your friends or anyone who you think might want to help too!
