On Sunday, May 21, Travis Audubon members and supporters gathered to celebrate the close of a record-breaking Birdathon! This year participants raised close to $35,000, surpassing our goal of $30,000.
The team competition was fierce! Team Gone Pishing took the award for Most Funds Raised with $6,588 in contributions. The award for Most Species Counted in a Long Day went to Birding Bristols who totaled 139 species, beating out the runner-up by just 4 species. The Most Species Counted in a Short Day ended up in a tie: Phoebe Friends and Birds & Bourbon both counted 38.
Congratulations to all our teams and many thanks to those who donated to our cause and attended the field trips. It has been an exceptional spring migration and we look forward to an even bigger and better Birdathon next year! Keep Austin Birding!
