Big Year 2015 Rule Update

The Celery Farm Big Year is underway.

After a consultation with the rules committee, it has been determined that folks can enter both as part of a team and as an individual.

Birds seen in the Celery Farm or from the Celery Farm with a teammate count toward the team total; birds seen otherwise can go toward an individual total. (I hope it's not confusing.)

So far, we have four teams of two, as well as eight individuals.

Would love to have a 2015 total from the Hour on the Tower folks as well! I suspect it would be pretty awesome.

Again, the idea is to have fun and get out birding in this amazing place.

If you want to enter, it's not too late. Just let me know by the end of January… celeryfarm (at) gmail.com.

Next week I will post info on another local Big Year, at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry. This one is sponsored by Bergen County Audubon Society.
