Dear supporter of bird conservation:

Thank you for visiting my 2010 Mass Audubon Bird-a-thon fundraising page. I am once again participating in this 24-hour birding event, during which my IBA team will count as many Massachusetts bird species as possible within designated Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in southeastern Massachusetts.

Last year my IBA team raised nearly $14,000 in support of the IBA Program - one of Mass Audubon's premiere bird conservation initiatives.  This year my IBA team is specifically raising funds to produce IBA signage and other outreach materials that will increase the public's understanding of how IBAs provide critical avian habitat throughout Massachsuetts.  For more information about the IBA Program I encourage you to visit the IBA link on the Mass Audubon website.

Until I have the opportunity to thank you personally, I appreciate your generosity and support and thank you in advance for making a donation to my page!

Wayne R. Petersen, Director, Massachusetts IBA Program
