Saturday's Critters #176
Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.
I will be away from my computer and internet for a bit. I will be visit your blogs and comment as soon as possible.
I was asked to share a post on the 34th World Series of Birding happening in Cape May New Jersey on May 6th. This post is on a young birder named Etan. He is competing in the youngest category of birders age group 6-18. The youth challenge team members must be in grades 1-12. The World Series of Birding is a fun competition and way to raise money for critically needed conservation priorities.
The youth groups will be in teams, and each team has a mentor. The teams will have the time period 5am to 8pm to identify either by sight and or sound as many species as possible.
Etan is also taking on the challenge in the 6-18 age youth group.
The youth team can find approx 150-200 species in the time period. The top overall total wins. The Cape May Point State Park is the finish line. A team and not the individual kids will be labeled as the winner in each division.

Above are some of my Cape May birds seen during a previous visit. Good luck to Etan all the team members.
