For the 18th consecutive year I am participating in the
Great Canadian Birdathon (formerly the Baillie Birdathon), the oldest sponsored bird count in North America, raising money for bird research and conservation. As usual, I am participating on a team with my Dad and
my brother. We have raised about $20,000 in that time and look forward to adding to that total this year.

If you pledge support to
my Birdathon, all of the money raised goes to bird conservation in Canada. Simply click "Give Now" on
my Birdathon page to make a donation or contact me directly at
mike.burrell.on@gmail.com.
Before you pledge support to my birdathon efforts, please consider
instead doing your own birdathon! It is very easy to register and you'll get a warm tingly feeling all over, plus you have an excuse to go birding. If you do a Birdathon for the first time I will happily be your first sponsor!

INCENTIVES – Of course, everyone who pledges to support my Birdathon will get a write-up with photos of the day’s highlights. On top of these incentives, pledges over $10 get an official tax receipt for income tax purposes and pledges over $35 get a year’s subscription to Birdwatch Canada.

| How about $5 per woodpecker species? Get creative! |
I’m also happy to accept per species or other creative pledges...do your worst! Some ideas for creative pledges are built-in bonuses for particular species/combos or pledges per bird family; really, the sky’s the limit. We usually see between 130 and 150 species during our Birdathon which we do in the Point Pelee area.

| On the birdathon, all species count! |
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
