2010 in 2010: eBird Idaho - The Final Results!!!


We have reached the 210th day of the year, and thus the conclusion of our Idaho eBird competition.  Thank you all who participated and made this such a fun event.  I hope many of you have become lifelong eBird users for the sake of birders everywhere, for bird science, and of course for the birds themselves.

The eBird team and KAYTEE have been very supportive of this effort to encourage birders to be eBirders and are donating $210 worth of cash or prizes to the winners!

Here is the final leader board...

Hyperlinked names are those that have been featured in my weekly blog segment called Idaho Birder Profiles where we spotlight one of Idaho's enthusiastic birders!

Checklist Leaders:
2.  Cheryl Huizinga 315
3.  Lew Ulrey 306
4.  Charles Swift 295

I also submitted 547 eBird checklists for Idaho in 2010, but as host of the competition declared myself ineligible for the prizes.
