Jane and others, Sorry for my imprecision. I should have said ALL non-competitive categories. We only exclude competitive teams because of their additional cost.

What if a group wanted to enter in the Low-Carbon category, for instance? Shouldn't we we be building some flexibility into our sponsorships?

This is an opportunity for fun birding during Fall migration with the overall goal of raising money for improvements to the complex. It offers great birding opportunities in a variety of habitats while socializing with old friends and making new ones with the added spice of friendly competition. You can learn about the Muckrace at https://friendsofmontezuma.org/projects-programs/muckrace/ The Cayuga Bird Club is willing to sponsor three recreational teams for this year’s event; we will pay the registration fee. We invite Cayuga Bird Club members and other interested birders to consider participating under our sponsorship. If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, either as a team leader or as a member of a team. Write to me at k...@cornell.edu<mailto:k...@cornell.edu>. DO NOT REPLY TO THE LIST_SERVE. I will do my best to coordinate the formation of a team by identifying a team leader and initiating communications between team members. The opportunity will be first-come, first-served.
