Birding Adventures

Accounts from birdathon fundraisers and other similar exploits

Many of these adventures are in support of The Santa Clara County Audubon Society which holds an annual spring birdathon. Some are in support of The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory, which holds a birdathon every fall, and where Ginger and I did volunteer bird banding many years ago (early 1990s).
