Dave Netten, co-owner of All-Seasons Wild Bird Stores in the Twin Cities, presented Audubon Minnesota Executive Director Mark Peterson a check for $3,071 on June 26, 2012.

The funds were generated by customers’ donations among their six metro area stores and were matched by the store owners. The campaign was kicked off on International Migratory Bird Day, May 12, and continued for two weeks. The proceeds will support Audubon’s “Bird Safe” program working with home and building owners to reduce collisions of birds with windows, one of the largest sources of bird fatalities today. This is the third year that All-Seasons Wild Bird Stores ran a campaign designed to assist Audubon Minnesota’s bird conservation programs.
