Hello VA-Birders,
The Coastal Virgina Wildlife Observatory (CVWO) invites birders of all skill
levels to participate in the 17th annual Kiptopeke Challenge (KC) on
Saturday, September 24, 2011.
The KC is a fun and friendly birding competition. 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 KC increases awareness of fall bird
migration on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and raises funds for the CVWO.
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 event is open to everyone regardless of skill level. The KC is a great
way for participants to sharpen their birding skills while supporting an
organization dedicated to avian research, habitat conservation, and public
education.

Sincerely,
