World Series of Birding

29th Annual World Series of BirdingMay 12, 2012

The "Highlands Hawks," the Conservancy’s birding team led by Captain Dennis Briede, will participate in the 29th Annual World Series of Birding on Saturday, May 12th. Armed with binoculars and spotting scopes, the team will have one objective in mind: identifying as many species of birds as possible in a 24-hour period.

This celebrated, annual event focuses world attention on New Jersey’s wealth of natural resources and its strategic importance to migrating birds. Sponsored by the New Jersey Audubon Society, it also helps organizations like the Conservancy raise funds to protect natural habitat. You can help sponsor our team -- with a pledge (pledge online here) of $1 or $2 or even .25 cents a bird.

The more birds our team identifies, the more dollars they raise toward our land preservation goals. For more information please contact Barbara McCloskey at bmccloskey@tlc-nj.org or (973) 541-1010 x14.
