importance of the dwindling open space we have here.The great thing about the Birdathon is that you can do it anywhere and for a length of time of your choosing. You might choose to do it at El Dorado Park in Long Beach or sitting in your living room watching birds come and go from your birdfeeder. You don't even have to live in LA to
participate. You could do your birding anywhere on the planet and at your own pace.More information on the Birdathon, including the participant/sponsor form, is available at http://naturalareafriends.net/how_you_can_help
