[Birdtalk] Birding Scavenger Hunt

[B.G. Sloan]

That article describes the Audubon Society's annual Birdathons. Lots of local Audubon Society chapters have them as fundraisers. I've been affiliated with two Audubon chapters, and both of them held annual Birdathons (I don't know if any Utah chapters hold them).

I believe it's the Audubon Society's biggest fundraiser of the year.

Since you live in Salt Lake City, you might want to check with the Great Salt Lake Audubon chapter: http://www.greatsaltlakeaudubon.org/
