 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.

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.  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.

Best,

Ken Kemphues
Treasurer
