8TH ANNUAL
YOUTH BIRDING COMPETITION
CHARLIE ELLIOTT WILDLIFE CENTER
APRIL 13-14, 2013
Quanci Ma
WHAT IS THE YOUTH BIRDING COMPETITION? A 24-hour birding competition in which teams (representing your school, scout troop, 4-H club, science club, etc. ...) compete with other teams their age to count as many species of birds as they can in Georgia. Start Saturday evening finding owls and other nocturnal species, go birding Sunday until 5 p.m., and attend an Awards Banquet and Live Animal Show at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center afterward. You can go birding at the Wildlife Center or travel the state; just get to the finish line by 5 p.m. Sunday with your bird checklist!
WHO CAN COMPETE? Anyone from K through 12th grade can form teams within four age divisions: primary (K-2nd), elementary (3rd-5th grade), middle (6th-8th grade) and high school (9th-12th grade).
DO I NEED TO BE AN EXPERT? No! We will do our best to link your team with an experienced mentor who can meet with you to help hone your bird identification skills before the event. We will also offer several training days throughout the winter and spring to help you prepare for the big event.
WHO DOES IT BENEFIT? Your team can raise money for your favorite DNR Nongame project or other conservation organization. Registration packets will include funding tips and a list of projects and organizations you may want to support.
