The annual RCAS Century Count will take place this year on Saturday, May 22, dawn to dusk. Options for being part of it are numerous and it is fun. Not only can you enjoy seeing all the beautiful birds which have returned or are migrating through, but if you have a competitive spirit, you can count species and help us get up to (or over!) our goal of 100 species. Last year we had 126!
Your options for participating are:
1. Join the north-east team or the south-west team.
2. Create your own team to cover areas not covered by the teams.
3. Bird on your own and report findings to RCAS through eBird.
4. Bird in pairs and report through eBird and share with RCAS.
5. If you still have feeders up, report your birds from there to ebird and share with RCAS.
(All of these options come with COVID safety restrictions, of course.)
If these options don't suit you, and you can think of others, please let us know. At any rate, email us at birding@rutlandcountyaudubon.org and tell us your preference, so we'll have an idea what to expect. We need YOU! Thanks!
