Participants seek donations in a similar fashion to marathon fundraising (donations are sometimes made in a lump-sum or funds are donated on a per bird basis), and when participants arrive in Costa Rica, they try to spot as many bird species as possible! The money raised during the bird-a-thon is then granted to organizations that are dedicated to conserving migratory birds in the St. Croix Watershed and Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>Due to safety concerns and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, the Costa Rica Bird-a-thon did not take place in 2021. However, the Tropical Wings team has continued to worked closely with <a href=\"https:\/\/surcostours.com\/\">Surcos Tours<\/a>, and we collaborated to create a virtual birding experience we are calling\u00a0<strong>Aves Increibles: The Incredible Birds of Costa Rica<\/strong>. This film features photos and videos of beautiful birds and narration describing the variety of unique bird families that call Costa Rica home.<\/p>\n<p>Funds raised as part of this event will be dedicated to both the <a href=\"https:\/\/tropicalwings.org\/index.php\/get-involved\/grants\/\">Tropical Wings Habitat Grant<\/a> program and to compensating <a href=\"https:\/\/surcostours.com\/\">Surcos Tours<\/a> for their contributions and dedication to this project.<\/p>\n<h3>Premiere Event &#8211; April 3, 6:30 pm CST<\/h3>\n<p>Join us for the premiere of the Aves Increibles &#8211; This virtual gathering will feature a message from Tropical Wings President, Patty Mueller as well as an interactive Q&amp;A session with Nito Paniagua, Expert Bird Guide with Surcos Tours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/82772871779?pwd=bjFWMURHK2hUTmZ1UlNLTThzU0xIZz09\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/82772871779?pwd=bjFWMURHK2hUTmZ1UlNLTThzU0xIZz09<\/a><br \/>Meeting ID: 827 7287 1779<br \/>Passcode: 363610<\/p>\n<h3>Donate<\/h3>\n<p>Send a check made out to Tropical Wings to Judy Freund &#8211; 257 Cove Circle<br \/>Hudson, WI 54016 OR <strong>donate online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?hosted_button_id=CF859665BBW9J\">here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Accessing Aves Increibles<\/h3>\n<p>To access the Aves Increibles Film content following the premiere event, please contact <a href=\"mailto:info@tropicalwings.org\">info@tropicalwings.org<\/a>.
