Thanks Jan for the recruiting effort. 

Indeed, it's not too late to enter a team in the 15th Annual Kiptopeke
Challenge!   

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Coastal Virginia Wildlife
Observatory (CVWO).  To help celebrate this milestone, the CVWO invites you
to participate in the 15th Annual Kiptopeke Challenge set to be held on
Saturday, September 26, 2009.

The Kiptopeke Challenge (KC) is a fun and friendly team birding competition,
whereby teams compete to identify the greatest number of bird species in a
single day within the competition boundary of Accomack and Northampton
Counties, Virginia, (Virginia's portion of the DELMARVA Peninsula),
including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.  The primary goals of the KC are
to raise funds for the non-profit CVWO and to raise awareness of fall bird
migration on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

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 KC is open to anyone.  Participants can form their own team or a single
individual can request to be places on an existing team.

The CVWO has set a goal for the 15th Annual KC - 15 teams!  Please consider
forming a team today.  It's a great way to put your birding skills to work
and help support an organization dedicated to avian research, habitat
conservation and public education.

For more information, a brochure, or to get involved in the 15th Annual KC
please write to  <mailto:kiptopekechallenge@xxxxxxxxx>

Paul Nasca
