Donate to Birding Cup

For twenty-five years, important projects at Shaver’s Creek and across the region have been accomplished by the generous efforts of both Birding Cup birders and supporters.

Take action by supporting our birders. All donations — to teams, individuals, or directly to the Shaver’s Creek Birding Cup fund — benefit Shaver’s Creek, so reward your favorite birder while transforming the lives of our animal ambassadors!

Check back in early 2025 for the new donation link!
