[Maine-birds] Global Shorebird Counting / World Shorebirds Day

Today begins the "Global Shorebirds Counting" (Sept 2-6) portion of the celebration of World Shorebirds Day on September 6.  You can take part by registering at https://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/globalshorebirdcounting/ and submitting your count data to a special eBird page.

In addition, this year there are prizes!  Here is the deal. Sign up for participating in all the Global Shorebird Counting events between 2 September 2016 and 8 September 2019 and you are eligible to get one of the major prizes and dozens of smaller ones. All that is needed to submit shorebird checklist(s) to eBird from every Global Shorebird Counting event between the date mentioned (exact dates to be announced in our blog). Winners will get their prize before Christmas of 2019. Separate signing up needed to register. Simply fill out the form and keep World Shorebirds Day in your mind, but we can help reminding you if you just follow our blog and get notified of new announcements.   

Prizes include a pair of Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 black bincoulars and a Kowa TSN 883 Spotting Scope with 25-60x eyepiece.  

This is an entirely non-commercial effort headed by a passionate Hungarian birder and shorebird conservationist living in the UK.  FMI:  https://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/blog/
