Wow! This year’s Birdathon offers some amazing top prizes — two nights at a beautiful ocean-view Bolinas vacation retreat, and a night at a charming cottage in Colusa, near the heart of winter flyway birding in the Central Valley.
The top individual fundraiser in Birdathon will receive two nights of their choice (not including holidays) at the Bolinas getaway, close to terrific birding sites at Bolinas Lagoon, Audubon Canyon Ranch and Point Reyes
:
- A private 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. Each bedroom is luxuriously appointed. The living room and dining area have a truly incredible 6-window view of the Pacific with whitewater waves crashing over exposed rocks. The house has a fireplace and two wood stoves, a well equipped kitchen and a large deck for enjoying the sunset. In addition to the three bedrooms is a cozy loft and quiet areas to read and relax. It’s just a five-minute walk to tide pools at Agate Beach. You can learn more about the house, which is available for rent throughout the year, at http://www.vrbo.com/56744. Thank you to the owners for this generous donation!
The second-place individual fundraiser will receive a one-night stay of their choice at Jay House, a charming vacation cottage in the town of Colusa, near Gray Lodge and other Sacramento Valley wildlife refuges:
- Spend the day among Tundra Swans and Sand Hill Cranes next winter, and then return to this fully- furnished two-bedroom retreat that sleeps up to 9 people (and well-behaved dogs). Wi-fi, complete kitchen and linens included. You can learn more about Jay House, which is available for rent throughout the year, at www.jayhousecolusa.com. Thank you to owners Connie Cloak and Chris Carrieri for this generous donation!
That’s not all… there will be more prizes for the teams or trips that raise the most money. High-quality Lowepro birding backpacks, restaurant gift certificates and more! And certificates of honor to those who sight the most birds and the Best Bird of Birdathon!
Don’t miss out on the chance to win… or just the fun of birding with other Audubon members and friends during Birdathon. Join one of our guided trips, or create your own self-guided trip. See the Birdathon web page for details and sign-up.
