2025 Nevada Bird-a-thon T-shirt Design Contest

This year we are requesting that all submissions feature desert thrashers! Please incorporate a Bendire’s and/or LeConte’s Thrasher into your design.

T-shirts will be given out to each participating birder in the Bird-a-thon and a limited number will be available for sale. All funds raised from the 2025 Bird-a-thon will go towards desert thrasher research and conservation. We look forward to seeing what you create!
