Way above my pay scale to figure out a better scoring method….. I think Nov challenge started out around the time Covid hit and was widely accepted. I like that it gets us out there under adverse Nov conditions to look for late migrants as Steve suggested. I agree that this November weather has been very challenging with sustained winds, overcast and snow.

However, I am confused about the scoring. How do Sullivan with 92 species, Coos with 91, and Belknap with 83 beat Rockingham with 163 and Hillsborough with 100 species? Birding has been a 'challenge' versus the windy weather this November. Hope to get out to a couple more sites for Hillsborough before it's over. > > -- > Bruce Conti > B.A.Conti Photography www.baconti.com/birding.htm <https://www.baconti.com/birding.htm> > ¡BAMLog! www.bamlog.com <https://www.bamlog.com/> > > -- > To Change your e-mail delivery settings (digest, daily, no mail) visit: > https://groups.google.com/group/nhbirds/subscribe?hl=en <https://groups.google.com/group/nhbirds/subscribe?hl=en> > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NHBirds" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to nhbirds+<unsubscribe...> <mailto:nhbirds+<unsubscribe...>. > To view this discussion visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/nhbirds/CAGn0XfgkHWkG6zWYuwsRD-nvYQEF4zSo41BJza1Xyjbb%<3Do4pzA...> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/nhbirds/CAGn0XfgkHWkG6zWYuwsRD-nvYQEF4zSo41BJza1Xyjbb%<3Do4pzA...>?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. -- To Change your e-mail delivery settings (digest, daily, no mail) visit: https://groups.google.com/group/nhbirds/subscribe?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NHBirds" group.
