Only one week to the Seatuck LI Birding Challenge! The Queens Ladybyrders need one more teammate for the September 26th event. Please see Ms. Lindsay’s original description for more details about registering your team, but contact me offlist if you would like to join our existing team. Any and all gender may apply. Skill is not essential though the ability to have fun birding is required. Hopefully the Ladybyrders will course through all the major Queens County parks between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. next Saturday.
In the past all participating teams met in a castle on Long Island for the winner’s circle ceremony afterparty. This year the affair will be virtual and have virtually no strong rules other than to keep yourself and your teammates safe and count as many bird species as you can see. Still time to register your own team too. How about it Kings County, Nassau County, bird clubs, Audubon chapters, tourists? If Jersey can host a competitive birding event in spring, Long Island can come together on September 26 to show “in unity is strength”! Registration is quick and easy online. https://www.seatuck.org/index.php/seatuck-birding-challenge On Tue, Sep 8, 2020 at 6:31 AM Patricia Lindsay <gelocheli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Come out and join us for a fun and exciting fall day Saturday, September > 26th, for the 7th Annual Seatuck LI Birding Challenge . > > This year's Challenge will be conducted following NYS and CDC guidelines > for keeping safe during the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, and as such, the > rules for birding with your teammates, the areas each team can cover, and > the submission and compilation of all teams' results, have changed.
