Flocks of Fun: Meet the Birdathon 2025 Teams!

By Dominique Emerson

Birdathon is an annual opportunity to support Whidbey Audubon, collect data about bird species, and have fun with fellow birders!

This year, five teams will be gathering pledges from friends and family members and recording the species of birds they see during a 24-hour period in early May. The funds they raise will support Whidbey Audubon’s scholarship program and the general fund.

We are excited to introduce this year’s Birdathon teams:

• All For Knot: Joe Sheldon and Dave Parent (and company)

• No Egrets: Louie Shellenberger, Patricia Duarte and Janet Jernigan

• Wild Women of Whidbey: Frances Wood, Ann Casey, Linda Bainbridge, Marilyn Strayer

• Wingin’ It: Sarah Schmidt, Janet Hall, Dyanne Sheldon, Libby Hayward, Ann Linnea

• Shore Thing: Cathi Bower, Kathy Obersinner, Patty Cheek
