The Birding Cup, Shaver’s Creek’s annual fund-raising tournament is this weekend! From Friday, April 30, at 7:00 p.m., through Saturday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m., 18 teams of over 80 birders will compete to identify the most number of bird species in a twenty-four-hour period in the central Pennsylvania region.
Our goal for this year’s Birding Cup is to raise $12,000. Pledges may be made per identified bird species or in a single donation. Donors can also choose to support a specific team.
