ABA/Leica Tropicbirds Take Second Place in Cape May!
The World Series of Birding Tropicbirds team did a great job taking second place in the Cape May County competition. Though migrants were scarce on the big day, there were many highlights including Eurasian Collared-Dove and Western Grebe. The team total was 169 species - thank you Tropicbirds!

ABA/Leica Tropicbirds Finish First in Texas!
The Tropicbirds had a wonderful day on Saturday during the Great Texas Birding Classic! Their total tally was 212 species - enough to win the Gliders division as well as being the highest total for any out-of-state team in the Lower Coast section! The day started off with high winds which made listening at night and dawn difficult, but the winds died down and the end of the day was magical with a big fallout at South Padre Island. Highlights were Western Tanager and Mourning and Golden-winged Warblers.
Congratulations to our fantastic Texas team, and "thank you" to all of our wonderful supporters! Next we turn our sights to the World Series of Birding coming up on May 13th. It's not too late to get your pledges in and help the ABA Young Birder programs. Be a part of our team!

 The yellowthroat is the "Gray-crowned Yellowthroat" at Sabal Palm though it looks more like a hybrid with a Common Yellowthroat. We're not going after it on Saturday.
