Donate to Birdathon

Join us on May 09, 2026, for World Migratory Bird Day. This day highlights the incredible journeys of migratory birds. It coincides with our yearly Clallam County Birdathon where we count birds across the county while gaining valuable insights into the avian inhabitants of the Olympic Peninsula.

Birdathon donations support our bird‑friendly community projects, fund the construction and upkeep of nest boxes, bolster local bird‑population monitoring, and sustain our high school scholarship program. They also help underwrite operations at the Dungeness River Nature Center, ensuring that your contributions strengthen both OPAS activities and the Center’s outstanding educational programs.

We appreciate your support in this effort. Let's celebrate migratory birds and work together to protect their habitats and food sources for the future. Thank you for joining us in this important mission. Please use the form below to donate.

Note: There is confusion about the donation process. If you wish to cover the credit card processing fees only, then follow these instructions. Give Lively does not charge us any of their own fees, but they will request a donation to their platform. You do not have to donate to them, so once you have entered the amount that you wish to donate and your payment method, fill out the details and then click on the “slider” icon as shown below with an arrow to open up options. Then move the blue slider to the left to only cover the fee that our processor requires. Otherwise, click on the amount that you wish to donate, and that will be all that you pay.
