I'd like to congratulate the winners of the Green Birding Challenge for 2011.

The unofficial winners and tallies...

Daniel Schneider with a monstrous 240 birds, breaking Scott Baughman's epic 
record of 234 from 2010.  (And ironically, from what I heard, Scott humbly 
helped Daniel find the birds that broke his record)

Bernie Sloan came in second with 207 birds, followed by Andy Paulios and Kim 
Kreitinger (tied with 197) and Kay Kavanaugh (179).  Scott Baughmann, 
undoubtedly recuperating from 2010 still managed 175 birds!

The 2012 challenge is already under way with several birders reaching 30 
species within the first few days of the year.

If you would like to join the 2012 challenge to try for a new record, or if 
you'd just like to be a casual participant and keep track of what you see from 
your backyard, please join in the fun by contacting Owen Boyle,

Also a huge thank you to Owen Boyle for all the behind-the-scenes work on the 
bird tracker website and the blog! 

Tim Vargo (Milwaukee)
