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 awareness of fall bird
migration on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and to raise money for the
non-profit 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. It only takes two people to form a team! The KC is open anyone
and to those of all skill levels.
So, please consider forming a team today. It's a great way to have some
fun 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
CVWO - Kiptopeke Challenge Coordinator
