2013 Big Day Birding Fundraiser 

In 2011, our team, the Connecticut Audubon Raven Luna-ticks, (Nick Bonomo, Patrick Dugan, Frank Gallo, Dave Tripp, and Fran Zygmont) finally broke Connecticut’s Big Day birding record of 186 species. We broke it by six, besting the New England record by one, as well, with a hard-earned total of 192 species in 24 hours. Our New England record lasted a week. Friends from Massachusetts now hold the record with 193 species. 2012 started well and ended in fog.  It’s a new year, and we want our record back! We have flexibility this year to go on any day between May 18-24, to optimize our chances. We’re busy locating raptor nests (please let us know if you have any in your area), and are already out scouting. Our sights are again set on 203 species, and we’ll give it our all!

We invite you to join our team by pledging your support. Help us achieve our ambitious goal of reaching 203 species and raising $5,000 — every dollar you pledge directly supports the Coastal Center at Milford Point – voted Yankee Magazine’s best birding destination in Connecticut.  We cannot do this without you, and we thank you in advance for your generosity!
