Did you know that the Georgia DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division sponsors an Annual Youth Birding Competition?
What is it?
The Youth Birding Competition is a 24-hour birding event during the peak of spring migration. Youth teams spend the day finding as many species as they can as they compete against teams their own age. The competition is capped off with a wildlife show and awards banquet.
When is it?
The 2014 event is April 25-26. Teams will use as much or as little of this 24-hour period as they like, as long as they cross the finish line and turn in their list by 5 p.m.
