The World Series Is On!

Of Birding that is.

And I'm participating this year.

I've done this before ... but is has been a while.

It is a completive birding event (yes, that is a thing!). And a major fund raiser for many nonprofit conservation organizations. My team, the Uncommon Nighthawks, is raising money for New Jersey Audubon's Research Department. If you want to donate you can do so via this link. I know that it is not the best time to ask for donations, so do not feel obligated. But thank you if you do.

It is a very different event this year though. Year 1 of Covid-19.

Whereas in prior years the field of play was the entire state of New Jersey, this year it is a 10 mile circle centered on one's home. And it is not limited to homes in New Jersey.

So, if you live in one of the following states you to can be a World Series Participant!

The 2020 “Special Edition” of the World Series of Birding invites teams to form in New Jersey or in any of the following states, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.

If you are interested in joining my team, email me and I'll send the instructions on how to sign up! All  you need to do is keep a count of the different bird species you see on Saturday May 9th.

Although be forewarned, you'll be nagged to pay your $0.00 registration fee!

Wish us luck!
