Hi all,

What?s the YardBirdRace record in your town, county, city or neighborhood?

Now it's easy to find out!


The YardBirdRace record book now has it?s own web-page and you can get to it at

http://ednewbold.com/ybr_records.html


If there is no record in your town, or in any case, consider entering the YardBirdRace, even if you have a late start. There is still the fall migration!

Go to the new YardBirdRace homepage if the rules are unfamiliar, at

Entering involves emailing your location and 2007 yard list to

yardbirdrace at yahoo.com


Racing yields benefits for bird conservation. Last year over $1600 was donated to the American Bird Conservancy, the ABC's Save the Cerulean Warbler Campaign and BirdLife International. Many subscriptions to the superb Washington Birder quarterly were won, and in YardBirdRacing, due to the anomalies of this otherwise difficult sport, everyone wins!
