We are proud to announce that the Monarchists team won the Carbon Footprint Award for the second consecutive year at the World Series of Birding. We found 141 species of birds and 9 species of butterflies on the day of competition, traveling just by foot and bicycle.
 |
| We started at midnight a listened for birds throughout the night. |
 |
| As usual, Ron Rollet coordinated a number of yummy meal breaks. |
The purpose of the World Series of Birding is to raise money for various conservation causes through a day of friendly competition. The Monarchists' effort is now the primary source of funding for the Cape May Monarch Monitoring Project.
