Donate to Birdathon

Our second annual Birdathon will take place on May 15-16, 2026! Teams will be birding in the greater Whitefish Point area, competing to see who can see and hear the most species of birds while also raising funds for the work of the Friends of Whitefish Point. We're offering a prize to the team who raises the most money, so make sure you select a team to sponsor.
