The results
are in and have been tabulated for the 2007
I would
like to especially thank Phil Pryde for having the insight and inspiration to
start this contest. He realized there
was a niche to be filled in the birding world for a contest that can be competitive
without being bogged down with formalities. It's also a great pr /
marketing tool as everyone already knows.
I would
also like to thank everyone for having patience with me in my first year as
coordinator. Before I announce the
winners I would like to mention that in the case of dividing the country
between east and west I used a map of the migration flyways, with Atlantic and
Mississippi flyways being east and Central and Pacific flyways being
west. I hope this has not put
anyone in a different category than you had previously been in.
Now, for this years results:
