Since 1984, the New Jersey Audubon Society has used their World Series of Birding as a fundraiser. My first one was 1988, and I did it nearly every year from then until 2018. In 2019 I had to cancel due to a death in the family, and then Covid kept me out of it. I’m returning to the Cape May Century Run Team this year, and looking forward to it. Each team tallies as many species as they can see or hear in a specific geographic area of New Jersey. Some teams do the whole state, ours does only Cape May County. This year it happens next Saturday, May 13th. I will be out birding with the team from 5 AM to 9 PM at least. It’s a long day, but a fun challenge. In the past I have asked for donations to support my team and help NJ birds and NJ Audubon through Facebook and my blog. I’m not doing as much of that this year, but I do have a personal pledge page if anyone would like to contribute to our effort, and I would be most grateful if you did!
