LITTLE BIG DAY Winners and Total Species List below
Saturday, MAY 23, 2015

A beautiful, sunny, hot day for everyone.  This year our lowest temperature at 6AM was 3°, soaring up to 27° in the afternoon.
We enjoyed our meal and count-up at the Marco Polo Restaurant in Cranbrook as the great bird stories fluttered about.
Five teams took part, raising $125.00 to be donated to an environmental cause in the Kootenays.
The total number of species seen by all of the teams was 140, compared to last year’s 139.

The winning team, Cooper’s Hawks, Dianne, Dean, and Audrey found 114 species followed by the Winnowing Wonders with 108 species.  Special note to the Biker Hiker Birders for using the bike & hike method and finding 66 species.  Congratulations to everyone!
