Greeting all,
I’m counting down the minutes to the start of Birding Cup 2024! We have over 100 birders on 21 teams that will take to the field this evening at 7 pm to begin the 24 hours of the Birding Cup and the associated categories like the Birding Boot, County Cup, Potter Mug and the Micro Cup. Plus individuals further afield contributing as Global Birders. All funds raised this year will be used to address various financial barriers that prevent community members from accessing outdoor spaces. Thanks to all those Bird Club members who are joining the fun this evening and to those that are sponsoring a team <https://www.shaverscreek.org/public-programs-and-events/birding-cup/>. We appreciate you!
Hope to see many of you at the Birding Cup finish line tomorrow at Shaver’s Creek; always a treat to find out what birds 100 people can find in Central PA in 24 hours! For those participating in the event, I wish you safe, responsible and joyous birding. Now I’m off to find out where those ibis have gone.
Best wishes,
Doug
