Thank You 2026 Bird-A-Thon Participants

Congratulations to all of our 48th Annual Rich Stallcup Bird-A-Thon participants and donors! Teams of new and experienced birders headed to parks, trails, and backyards to identify as many bird species as possible within a 24-hour period. Thanks to your efforts, $140,000 and counting has been raised to support Point Blue’s mission to conserve birds, wildlife, and ecosystems through science, partnerships, and outreach.

We’re collecting pledges and tallying results, and will announce winners in categories such as most bird species identified and most funds raised in November.

The Bird-A-Thon is a high point of our year and a chance to connect with fellow birders, nature enthusiasts, scientists, and conservationists. Whether you counted bird species, supported a team, cheered from afar, or helped spread the word, your participation makes a real difference for birds and the habitats they rely on. Thank you!
