DOAS 2019 Online Auction

Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society is hosting an online auction as a fundraiser to help support maintenance work at the DOAS Sanctuary & Hawkwatch on Franklin Mountain. We will be working on much-needed visitor welcome signage at the site this Spring.

The artwork featured below has been generously donated by member and long-time Board Director, Dr. Bob Donnelly.

Please note that if our reserve price is not met by the conclusion of the online auction at Noon (12pm) on Sunday, June 2, 2019, we will close the auction without a winner until a later date. (Our reserve price is not published, but is an amount set by our Board of Directors.)

You can place your bid without registration or payment information, but you must include your email address. You will be notified by email if you have been outbid on the item so that you have the opportunity to increase your bid amount. Opening bid begins at $200 with new bid amounts in minimum $20 increments.

If you do not feel comfortable bidding online, you can designate a proxy to bid on your behalf. This can be a person of your choosing or you can send a signed letter to DOAS with your instructions and maximum bid amount and one of our board members will bid on your behalf in the required increments with the total not to exceed your maximum bid.

For the winning bidder – payments can be made by Check or Money Order, or by Credit Card (via PayPal) . We will send details on those options to the winning bidder at the end of the auction.

Additional images can be found below.

Why Birds Matter...

Birds are important because of the role they play in the natural world as pollinators and seed disbursers, assisting with the balance of nature by eating insects. They also clean up things that would go unattended otherwise. Birds are important TO ME because of the kinship that I feel with another living species, and the joy that they bring to me year around. Encountering spring migrants feels brand new every time! I feel responsibility for their well-being and take care not to disturb their nesting with unnecessary sounds, disturbance or habitat destruction. I respect the incredible work they do to bring about future generations.

Birds have always been an early warning system for our environment–the “canary in the coal mine.” It was the decline in bird species high on the food chain that tipped us off to the dangers of DDT and other chemicals. More recently, high altitude and high latitude birds are demonstrating the first definitive effects of global change. If science had been more advanced in the 1800s, the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon could have served as a warning about habitat destruction. This not just about protecting the birds–although that is a worthy goal–but all of these threats will ultimately reach the human race.

In addition to being indicators for environmental health, birds matter because they allow people all over the world to enjoy and appreciate nature. Caring about birds often leads to caring about their habitats and creates a stewardship ethic to protect our natural resources. Birds connect communities.
