Announcing The Record’s Birdy 30 Winners

Today's Record features my latest column on the winners of this year's official Birdy 30 contest, in which readers competed to see who could see the most species in any 30-minute time frame over Valentine's Day weekend.

We had 22 contestants and some cool birds.

In the photo gallery are Deb Endresen, who won the contest with 21 species (and a lot of feeders), Maryann and Bill Fahey, who won the random drawing, a pair of Eastern Bluebirds photographed by Bill Wall of Manahawkin during the Birdy 30, a Downy Woodpecker photographed during the competition by Susan McTigue of Closter.

Congratulations, all!

The column, with the winners and exciting details, is here.
