We would like to congratulate Samuel on winning an awesome new Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America! This field guide will be sent to Samuel in the mail! We would like to also thank each of the 13 young nature enthusiasts that participated in the count! We would not have been able to get this count done without your help! Your GBBC certificates will be mailed to you very soon! Thanks also to the many other volunteers that came to help us count including members of the AWBAS, IAS, and IYBC!
And last but not least, thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Eagle Creek Ornithology Center for allowing this event to take place at such an amazing facility!
