Dear Virginia Birders, The Coastal Virgina Wildlife Observatory (CVWO) invites you to participate in the 17th annual Kiptopeke Challenge (KC) on Saturday, September 24, 2011! The KC is a fun and friendly birding competition. 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 KC increases awareness of fall bird migration on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and raises funds for the 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. The event is open to everyone regardless of skill level. The KC is a great way for participants to sharpen their birding skills while supporting an organization dedicated to avian research, habitat conservation, and public education. Please consider forming a team TODAY!
