*Announcement *
In 2018, we mark the centennial of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the most powerful and important bird-protection law ever passed. In honor of this milestone, nature lovers around the world are joining forces to celebrate the “Year of the Bird” and commit to protecting birds today and for the next hundred years. In our region, Audubon Rockies is celebrating by challenging the birders across Colorado & Wyoming to do what they do best, watch birds. Audubon Rockies will be offering two prizes to the top eBird users in both Colorado & Wyoming for the categories: “Species” and “Checklists.” To learn more about bird conservation in our region, visit rockies.audubon.org. *Prizes* Prizes can include, but are not limited to: - Hamburger grazed on Audubon Certified Bird Friendly Land - https://goo.gl/bC6Ydq - Gifts from our Habitat Hero program - https://goo.gl/Ny4k63 - Copies of Rockie’s Sagebrush Adventures - https://goo.gl/fgocUS - MORE prizes will be announced as the challenge progresses! *Register (FREE)* Wyoming Registration: https://goo.gl/forms/xqoCUTzSoJUCFnzQ2 Colorado Registration: https://goo.gl/forms/D8fQLHlsMiEQ5b3N2 *Rules* 1.
