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"
