Apalachee Audubon Society, Inc. Recent "Birdathon" resultsEvery spring a one week period is selected during which we conduct our "Birdathon" fundraiser. Groups form to see how many different avian species they can observe within a 24 hour period (and of course donations are solicited to support the chapters activities: meetings, field trips, environmental projects, Audubon Adventures kits donated to local area elementary schools). below are the year by year combined results of all the groups who participated in the last few "birdathon" adventures. These lists serve as illustrations of the diversity of birdlife to be found within our local area during the spring migration.
