The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
Once again, I have been flooded with calls, texts and e-mails all week, more or less, from folks asking: "Are Fyke and Bergen County Audubon vying for the Crowphy again during the Christmas Bird Count this year?
The answer is yes!
Both groups are doing their counts on Saturday this yaer.
As you may recall, BCAS eked out a victory last year in the CBC competition last year, 95 species to 82, giving Fyke a 13-species handicap this year. In the three-year history of the Crowphy, Fyke has never won — even though we supplied the trophy to begin with! (Not to sound bitter.)
Now only time will tell.
