Special post : Final BBC team and overall species numbers for IMBD

Here are the final International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) totals by team  and overall species seen in Brooklyn and Queens locales for the Brooklyn Bird Club Birdathon:

 "Youngerwingers" 108 Species  (Bob Washburn, Donna Evans, Michael Yuan, Dennis Hrehowsik )

 "Goldenwingers " team 107 species (Peter Dorosh, Mary Eyster, Tom Preston, Sandy Paci, Keir Randall )

The overall combined team total with 6 single observers reports was

129 (team )+ 6(single) = 135 species for Brooklyn and Queens coverage.

locations were Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery, Plumb Beach, Drier- Offerman Park, Jamaica Bay Refuge, Floyd Bennett Field for both teams.

The total  listing will appear on the BBC Field trips page which I will insert a link on this blog within a few days.

A truly great day ! And congrats to the "Youngerwingers"

Again, based on these numbers, if you are pledging to support the NYS Young Birders Club, here is the link  below  ( I will be sending mine  .50 cent a bird for 107 species)
