Dear Colorado Birders (and other readers of Cobirds):
I am thrilled to see that more than 20 teams have now registered for the third annual Colorado Birding Challenge. This includes 45 participating observers and fundraisers. Over $7000 has been pledged or donated so far for Pinyon Jay conservation. My most heartfelt thanks to those of you who have already responded to our call for participation. This year, non-competing teams have the entire month of May to participate. The competition date is May 20, just a week away.
As a community, we can do great things when we band together. For those of you who have not yet registered, please consider joining us (it is free and easier than ever this year).as a way of giving back to the birds that provide you with so much pleasure. We in Colorado are among the strongest birding communities in the world. Let's demonstrate this unity and dedication to avian welfare by redoubling our efforts this weekend. When you are out and about this weekend enjoying the spring migration, let others you meet know that you will be participating in the Colorado Birding Challenge and give them the opportunity to support you with a donation or pledge per species.
We are already doing well with 45 participants. Imagine the impact we could have with 450 or 4500 participants. For those of you outside of Colorado, your financial support will be most welcome. Thanks for your continued support of Colorado Field Ornithologists.
