From teamer Ryan Goldberg:
A short update on this weekend's Birdathon: our team finished with 107 species, breaking our century goal, and putting us in second place among 10 teams! (The final results are pending.) It was a really fun, really tiring day. We met at 5:45 a.m. at Prospect Park, stayed there until about 10, then went over to Green-Wood Cemetery, where we spent a few hours. After that it was Gravesend Bay, Plumb Beach, and Floyd Bennett Field, all coastal locations in Brooklyn. We left Floyd Bennett Field a little after five, and by six met up with other birders to celebrate at a bar near Prospect Park, bringing the day full circle.
Thank you to everyone who donated to support our team and thus Brooklyn Greenway Initiative. Here is a link in case you are still inclined: https://givebutter.com/brooklyn-bird-club-2025-spring-birdathon. Currently the fundraiser has raised over $10,000.
All the best,
Ryan
