Bedford Audubon Birdathon 2006
May 12–13

The Bedford Audubon Society is gearing up for our annual Birdathon. It will take place Friday and Saturday, May 12-13, 2006. The purpose of this event is to help raise money for Bedford Audubon's Scholarship Fund, local school environmental education projects, and membership programs.

How does it work?

During the 24 hr period from 5 p.m., Friday, May 12 to 5 p.m., Saturday, May 13, BAS teams will travel throughout the area visiting such hot spots as Jamaica Bay, Doodletown Road, and Read Sanctuary. The teams will try to identify as many different birds as possible. We expect to identify 100-170 species!

How can I help?

1. Make a per species pledge, or fixed amount contribution to the Birdathon.
