SUMMARY:Rainier Audubon's May Birdathon
DESCRIPTION:The Month of May is Birdathon! \n\n\n\nThe goal of this year’s birdathon is to raise money to expand our Bird Nest Box Project to the newly redisigned Green River Natural Resource Area (GRNRA).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new design losses some upland bird habitat\, but increases the potential for shorebirds and other waterfowl.  We hope to both add new boxes and service the existing ones\,  We could also raise money for a live camera for the Barn Owl nest. \n\n\n\nSpecial One-day Events:\n\n\n\n\nMay 7 – Bird the Streiffert’s backyard from 7am – 12pm.  A light brunch and coffee will be available. Asking for $10/person donation. Please send an email to dan_streiffert@hotmail.com to let us know how many are comming.  Address 10102 SE 270th PL\, Kent\, WA 98030\, 253-394-2328\n\n\n\nMay 31 – Birdathon Field Trip to Eastern Washington with Barbara Petersen – See More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIIt’s fun and easy to participate. Simply count as many bird species in one day as you can! Choose any day in May. Have family\, friends\, and co-workers sponsor you\, then go birding!  Afterwards\, send your sponsors a list of the birds you saw\, and they will donate X amount for each species (i.e. $1 or another amount).  Or they can donate a flat fee. 100% of the proceeds support Rainier Audubon activities in south King County.  \n\n\n\nYou choose how you want to participate. Stay at home and count species at your feeder\, visit your favorite birding spots or create your own Birdathon experience. Do you love photography? You could share pictures of the birds with your sponsors. Or do you like a friendly competitive game? Perhaps do a fun challenge by matching their donations! \n\n\n\nSponsors are happy to support your efforts\, and many look forward to being sponsors again.  They especially enjoy your list of bird species seen. \n\n\n\nWhile you can choose any day in May\, we encourage you to do Saturday\, May 13th.\, which is the Global Big Day.Why do the Birdathon?It’s fun\, and Rainier Audubon needs your support!  Membership dues to Rainier Audubon only covers a portion of the costs of running a successful Audubon chapter.Birdathon is our largest fundraiser. We depend on it\, and you\, to provide a stable funding base for our many activities and services such as: programs and speakers fees\, environmental education activities\, conservation committee activities\, printing and mailing our newsletter\, and general administrative costs. With your support\, we can continue to provide these loved services and wouldn’t have to cut back any of our activities due to lack of funds!It’s simple. Collect sponsors and count bird species in your backyard or on walks. The Sponsor Sheet is included below. \n\n\n\nDownload the Sponsor Sheet \n\n\n\nMake a Donation Now

SUMMARY:Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the natural world and the spring shorebird migration! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach spring\, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed along the Washington Coast and in the Grays Harbor estuary during their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina\, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel over 15\,000 miles round trip! The concentration of birds during spring migration offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species. With luck you will also see the birds fly together in beautiful formation “murmurations” while trying to escape a Peregrine Falcon. \n\n\n\nwww.shorebirdfestival.com
