Rev Ray Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This year I will be participating again in the World Series of Birding with the Hackensack Riverkeeper to raise funds for the organization on 5/10. This will be my 3rd year with the team. If you enjoyed my old road reports and my live tweeting of shows on the DVDVR Twitter, why not throw a few bucks in our direction? In my two years on the team, we've done about 127 birds in the 24 hour time frame. This is more of a fund raiser, we're not really in a category we can win unless all the other teams get wiped out like the shrimping fleet in Forrest Gump. They take either flat pledges or by a bird pledge (keep the 120 range in mind.). http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Support-your-RiverCreepers-in-the-World-Series-of-Birding-.html?soid=1103300754185&aid=0jY9xnLRANg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I dunno why, but the second time I read the thread title on the right-hand part of the main page, I thought it said "world series of blading." "He's really tapped a gusher that time, Phil. This plucky American's going for the title with a sick slice that's about 0.9 Muta." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Kind of chaotic yesterday. The team captain's dad passed away on Thursday, so I found out my team was reduced to 2 people, we normally have a 4 person team. We ended up tallying 125 species between 4am and 9pm, which i think is the 2nd or 3rd highest total in the team history. BIrd list maybe later.
