Hello Cayugabirders, I wanted to update everyone that the leaderboards for the Sapsucker Woods Big Birding Year are now live on our website at
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=2010 You'll find some information there about the competition and how to join in, as well as who the current leaders are. Cornell Lab employees are not eligible for the prizes. The competition began on Oct. 1, so these tallys reflect only the sightings entered into eBird since then. A reminder on the prizes: Each category winner will win a Redfield Rampage 60mm spotting scope with a 20–60x zoom, donated by Leupold, and an MP3 collection of 35 common bird songs of Sapsucker Woods from Macaulay Library. Other prizes include a copy of the new Bird Songs Bible for the person who reports the most species; a Cornell Lab mug and hat for the person who submits the most checklists; and a copy of The Bird Watching Answer Book for the person who reports the most time birding in Sapsucker Woods. Please email me any questions you might have--Good luck & good birding! charles. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
