  • While birding can be a leisurely activity, it can also be quite competitive. Things like Big Years, County listing, and end of year totals all bring out a different side of birders. We turned things up a notch by hosting a birding tournament. Check out the video to see how our contestants faired in our first ever Badgerland Birding tournament.

    You should open this up to subs and make it a regular thing.

    Congratulations, Bill! Enjoy your “Let’s Chat” mug! I have one like it. I like it because some of my friends and family who aren’t birders have asked me the significance of it, so I get to educate them about the yellow-breasted chat and to recommend watching the Badgerland Birding channel!

    Absolutely I would compete in your Birding tournament you should have a Birding tournament in one of the best places in the United States , Southeastern Arizona or maybe at high Island Texas during the spring migration that would be the one for you guys to go for yes but I would definitely partake in it .

    This is awesome! I might organize one of these in the spring at our nature center. I might go with two one-hour halves rather than 45-minute halves. What was your break time in the middle? Did participants set a watch to know when each half had ended? I might also have an individual and a partner competition. Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing.

  • @pengiunsquad5672
    @pengiunsquad5672 2 года назад +1

    It would be cool to do an hour each half and make each half two very different habitats.
