2004 BIRDATHON RESULTS

How did you spend your Saturday, March 20? Well, members of Peace River Audubon spent their Saturday racing around the area looking for as many different bird species as possible.

Competitive birding--a Birdathon--whatever you call it, it happens to be one of the ways Peace River Audubon raises money to support the educational efforts of Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center.

There were 15 participants on three teams. A total of 133 bird species were counted by all. The winning team, Mangrove Cuckoos, saw 104 species according to team leaders Joan and Chuck Froman, and team members Charles Frogman, Stu and Louise Lewis and Jim and Barb Homme.

Second place Hawkeyes, led by Lynn Bates, with team members Dillys Randall, George Bates and Paul Holmes saw 103 species.

Third place team, Jaybirds, led by Cathy Olson, with members Gregg Klowden, Norm Epiphany, and Betty Denniss saw a total of 84.

In total $1338.35 were raised with the Jay birds raising $760.05, the Mangrove Cuckoos $468.30, and the Hawkeyes $110.

Where does the fund raising come in? Well, each team obtains as much sponsorship as possible; normally, a stated amount per bird species seen. For example,a "pledge" of $.10 a bird times 133 birds seen nets the Peace River Audubon $13.30, or if the "pledge" is $1-a-bird species seen amounts to $133. Other sponsors offer a fixed cash amount regardless of the number of birds counted. "That makes all the hard work worthwhile, not forgetting it is a lot of fun," said Paul Holmes, who, like the other teams, was up at dawn and spent the whole day searching places such as Babcock-Webb, Bayshore Oaks Park, the trails around CHEC and many other 'secret' spots. "We don't want to give away too many secrets," said Hawkeye's team leader Lynn Bates. "After all, there's always next year."

If you would like to support Peace River Audubon's efforts to help ensure Charlotte Harbor's students receive a good environmental education, it is not too late to sponsor the event. Please send your donations, which are tax deductible, to PRAS at PO Box 510760, Punta Gorda, FL 33951-0760.
