Baillie Birdathon 2004 was another great success. The enthusiasm and support by participants and sponsors continues to ensure Birdathon is a fun, fund-raising event for all involved.
By year-end, over $177,000 had been raised. With over 450 participants registered across Canada, money has been raised for 97 conservation organizations along with Bird Studies Canada.
A special thanks to those truly dedicated whose efforts ranked in the top ten.

In 2004, Bird Studies Canada (BSC) formed a coast-to-coast team to raise funds for bird research and conservation through the Baillie Birdathon. Our team consisted of BSC representatives from across this great land:
Dick Cannings, British Columbia Program Manager and Canada's Christmas Bird Count Coordinator Jim Duncan, BSC National Science Council Advisory Council member and Manitoba Nocturnal Owl Program Coordinator Jon McCracken, Ontario Program Manager and Species at Risk Specialist Catherine Poussart, Coordinator of the Québec Marsh Monitoring Program Becky Whittam, Project FeederWatch Cooridinator and Atlantic Program Manager.
Thanks to 232 sponsors, Bird Studies Canada's Cross-Canada Birdathon was a terrific success, raising over $11,600. While not every bird that spends time in Canada was found by our team, an incredible 252 species were tallied! Of this total, only 22 species were seen by all 5 team members and 119 were seen by one team member only. Each team member had a unique and engaging Birdathon story to tell, and an exclusive excerpt from each adventure was reported back to all sponsors. Thank you!
