2008 Baillie Birdathon Announces Guest Birder David Allen Sibley

29 February 2008 - With spring just around the corner, Bird Studies Canada is honoured to announce that our 2008 Baillie Birdathon Guest Birder is well-known author and illustrator David Allen Sibley. The Baillie Birdathon is a fantastic way to get out and enjoy the wonder of spring migration, while raising valuable funds to support bird research and conservation.

All Birdathon participants receive an exclusive Baillie Birdathon t-shirt simply for registering. This year's shirt was illustrated by our 2008 Guest Artist, Nigel Shaw. Participants also have great chances of winning some fabulous prizes! Visit the Bird Studies Canada website for more information about the Baillie Birdathon, or to download a participant kit. If you cannot participate in Birdathon this year but would like to sponsor the efforts of David Allen Sibley or a BSC staff person, please visit the Baillie Birdathon Donation web page.
