Little Big Day (Kootenay Style)

20/5/2016

 

A beautiful, sunny, warm day for everyone.  This year our lowest temperature at 6AM was 3°, creeping up to 22° in the afternoon.
 
We enjoyed our meal and count-up at The Heid Out in Cranbrook as great bird stories fluttered about.
 
Four teams took part, raising $105.00 to be donated to an environmental cause in the Kootenays.
 
The total number of species seen by all of the teams was 144, compared to last year’s 140.
 
The winning team, Cooper’s Hawks, Dianne, Dean, and Joe found 119 species followed by the Craned-necked Out-of-timers with 92 species.  Special note to the Pedal and Paddle team for their environmental endeavor, getting 80 species and The Tea Party for their stories of their actual bush tea party, good china and all, and having 74 species 
Congratulations to everyone!

Its unfortunate that the Wings Festival was on at the same time as the LBD. Our team from 2015 would have loved to have been in the comp. Maybe next year.... depending on the timing. Wings is May 8 - 14 next year. Looks like everyone had fun... good birding for everyone, Brian Wesley.
