World Series of Birding Scouting

UMLY's middle school team, "Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Brant!", has spent most of the last 24 hours scouting sites throughout Cape May County. Because time is short during the 24-hour World Series of Birding, locating hard to find species before the Big Day helps a great deal. Below are some photos from their time in the field. 

Tonight, they and UMLY's high school team "B.B. Kingfishers", begin the competition at the stroke of midnight. We wish them the best of luck! Show your support by pledging today: UMLY World Series Pledge Form
