Inspiring Wonder Through Birding: Swift Swallows Support River Center Education Programs

Swift Swallows' purpose beyond the excitement and pleasure of observing birds in their habitats is to support the River Center. From March through May team members each identify as many species of birds in North America as they can to raise funds for River Center education programs.

The team has raised over $120,000 for River Center programs since 2009! Its goal for 2026 is $5,000.

Although Dave and Julie Jackson and their daughters will not be part of the team this year, Marion Rutledge, Marie Grad, and Stacey Fradkin are committed to continuing the tradition they began. While enjoying their birding this spring, each member also serves as an informational ambassador for the River Center. The team's total was 312 in 2025. 

Your donation today will help support River Center classes and field trips for all ages. Donors are encouraged to add a note to reinforce their support for the team or individual members.
