Coastal birding challenge

A good day birding. Twenty-four hours. A dozen teams participated. Judy and I, “Team Nomads”, picked twelve sites to visit. Drove about 150 miles to cover them all.

Final tally, 89 birds (attached). We had some other birds stashed, but we couldn’t find the common ground doves or the green kingfisher when it counted.

We came in third. The winner for most birds had 105. Our best birds: anhinga, bonaparte’s gull, and horned larks. We won prizes.

Home in time for kickoff.
