SUPER-BIRD WEEKEND ’12

Saturday Jan 28 & Sunday Jan 29 2012

 
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

• Select your team – anywhere from 1-4 Team members may participate on a team.
• Bird anywhere in New Jersey, as long a day as you like…
• Bird on Saturday, Jan 28 Only
• Bird on Sunday, Jan 29 Only
• Or Bird BOTH days
• You may be a part of an organized birding trip, however you may only enter those birds which were seen/heard by you (e.g. Someone else on the trip sees or hears a Blue Jay, but you do not – you may not count that bird.)
• Rack up points based on weighted point totals (CLICK HERE FOR POINTS)
• If you see/hear a bird not listed on the point sheet, it will be counted as “5 points”
• Sorry! No points for hybrids — and that includes any Prius seen  😉
• Birds must be wild – no “domestics” (chickens, Indian Peafowl (“Peacocks”), Mandarin Ducks, Domestic Ducks, etc.)
• Submit your totals by 11:59PM ET Monday , Jan 30
• The goal is to SEE/HEAR as many birds as you can for the day(s) you enter. Of course, the better the bird, the more the points! 🙂
• The most important rule: HAVE FUN!!

Winners will be chosen for the following categories:

• Saturday Only (highest point total)
• Saturday Only (highest # of species)
• Sunday Only (highest point total)
• Sunday Only (highest # of species)
