Dear Friend of the IBA Program:

Thank you for visiting my Important Bird Area (IBA) Program fund raising page!

During Mass Audubon's upcoming spring Bird-a-thon I will be raising money for bird conservation.  Last year my IBA Team successfully raised more than $7500 in 24-hours.  This year we hope to raise even more money for bird conservation.

With critical bird habitat increasingly under pressure from development, invasion by exotic vegetation, chemical contamination, and adverse effects created by climate change IBAs are more important than ever as prioritized and well documented sites in Massachusetts that support significant bird populations at various seasons of the year.  These prioritized sites are helping guide Mass Audubon's bird conservation efforts across the Commonwealth.

Donating through this website is a simple, fast, and totally secure way to efficiently sponsor my IBA fundraising efforts. I hope you will help me reach my personal goal for the May 15-16 Bird-a-thon. The birds deserve your support!

Many thanks in advance for your help -- and PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO  FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE ELSE WHO YOU THINK MIGHT WANT TO DONATE TOO!
