Help spread the word
Greetings Bird Friends and Family and thank you for visiting my team’s page.
I am participating in Tahoma Bird Alliance's 2025 Bird-a-thon, trying to spot as many URBAN bird species IN ONE DAY as possible.
Since 1970 North America has lost more than 30% of its ENTIRE bird population! Birds and their habitats need our funds and habitable gardens more than ever because this kind of loss is simply unsustainable!
Tahoma Bird Alliance (TBA) has been serving Pierce County since 1969. Together, we are determined to help slow the rate of bird population decline through education, conservation and advocacy. I also aim to educate people how to garden for better bird survival.
Bird-a-thon is one of the biggest fundraisers for TBA and I humbly ask for your support by pledging to my bird count! No pledge is too big or small!
Thank you for your support of my 2025 team! If you need me, I will be out with the birds in the garden – look me up on Facebook to learn more!
About this fundraiser:
Tahoma Bird Alliance's Annual Birdathon is back and we are aflutter with excitement!
Birdathon is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and we need your help!
Did you know that since 1970 North America has lost more than a third of our ENTIRE bird population? With Federal Environmental Protection Policies at risk, the birds and their habitats need our help more than ever.
We are a bird conservation nonprofit organization, serving the Pierce County area since 1969. We were born through conservation when Helen Engle and Thelma Gilmur worked with community members and organizers including indigenous activist Billy Frank Jr. to preserve what would later become Billy Frank Jr Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. Helen and Thelma went on to play roles in preserving Swan Creek Park, Snake Lake Park, China Lake Park, and old-growth stands in Point Defiance.
At Tahoma Bird Alliance, we’ve always served the birds. We’re committed to honoring that legacy of conservation and are determined to do our part to slow the rate of bird population decline through education, conservation, and advocacy.

How It Works:
- Teams will go out birding, carefully counting the different species they see.
- Supporters pledge a dollar amount for each species the group spots, OR you can donate a set amount.
EXAMPLE: A supporter pledges $5 per species. The Team that they support spots 30 different bird species on their bird walk. The Supporter will then donate $150 to TBA.
