Dear Virginia Birders;
The Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory (CVWO) invites you to
participate in the 16th ANNUAL KIPTOPEKE CHALLENGE to be held on
Saturday, September 25, 2010.
The Kiptopeke Challenge (KC) is a fun and friendly team birding
competition, whereby teams compete to identify the greatest number of
bird species in a single day within the competition boundary of Accomack
and Northampton Counties, Virginia, including the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel. The primary goals of the KC are to raise funds for the
non-profit CVWO and to raise awareness of fall bird migration on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia.
It is easy to get involved and there are several categories in which to
compete: 24-Hour, 3-Hour, Youth Team (age 18 and under) and Special
Venue. The KC is open to anyone! Participants can form their own team
or a single individual can request to be placed on an existing team.
Please consider forming a team today. It's a great way to put your
birding skills to work and help support an organization dedicated to
avian research, habitat conservation and public education.
For more information, a brochure, or to get involved in the 16th Annual
KC write to <kiptopekechallenge@xxxxxxxxx> or visit <www.cvwo.org>.
Sincerely,
Paul Nasca
