The Countdown Has Begun!

We are approximately two hours away from the start of the 29th annual World Series of Birding.

UMLY's high school team, Dani Smith, Ben Bussmann, and Nathaniel Sharp, are in route to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.

UMLY's middle school team, Austin Smith, Liam Gallagher, Yusuf Romaine-Elkhadri, and Tyler DiAndrea, will depart shortly for the Tuckhoe Wildlife Management Area.

Both teams will spend the first three to four hours of the competition listening for night birds, such as owls and rails.

Let the madness begin!
