Like so many, you're probably wondering, how did the Crowphy get its name?

More than four  years ago, while celebrating the expansion of the Pirie-Mayhood Tower at the Celery Farm, several birders were discussing a new competition between Fyke and our arch-rivals, the Bergen County Audubon Society.

Someone said we needed a trophy to make the competition official, and I volunteered a metal crow that had been cleverly gathering dust on a bookshelf.

At which point Rob Pirie piped up: "Why not call it 'the Crowphy'?"

And the metal crow has been gathering dust on a BCAS  bookshelf ever since that first competition way back in 2015.

Darn you, BCAS!!
