Get set for the Yukon Birdathon!
May 29 (start 5pm) to May 30 (finish 5pm)
Dear Birders:
The Yukon Birdathon is approaching quickly. The spring migration is in full swing and there are birds everywhere!
Migratory birds are a reminder that we are directly connected with habitats that span continents. The shorebirds and terns that arrive over the next few weeks may have travelled from southern South America. They depend on the great work of groups like the Yukon Bird Club to protect important habitats.
You can help that work by taking part in the Birdathon. You don’t need to be an expert birder! It’s also fun. One pledge form was included with your recent copy of the Yukon Warbler. If you need more, print them off the YBC website or pick them up at the Yukon Conservation Society (YCS) office at 302 Hawkins Street. Call 668-7370 if you want more information.
YCS has challenged the Bird Club to see which group can raises the most money for conservation. The winning organization receives the “Bluebird Cup” for a year. Attached photo is of the Bluebird Cup. It’s worth winning for our club! Come out and have fun. Our reputation is at stake!
