Superbowl of Birding

We're almost there. In just a few more days (Saturday, Jan 24th) we will be competing in Mass Audubon's annual Superbowl of Birding. I've mentioned it a few times, and a few of you readers may have seen posts about it on my teammates blogs as well. The name of our team is the 'Bloggerhead Kingbirds' as we are a team composed solely of bird bloggers. Allow me once again to introduce this team of hardy birders that will be braving New England winter weather to see as many species, and accumulate the greatest point total in a twelve hour period:

Patrick from the Hawk Owl's Nest
Corey from 10,000 Birds
Quintus from the Owl Box Blog
Nathan from The Drinking Bird
and of course, your's truly.

And at this time, I would also like to unveil the brand spankin' new Bloggerhead Kingbirds team logo, generously designed by the good folks over at Birdorable.com:

Come on, how cool is that?!? Amy & Arthur did a great job with this, and I'm really happy with the way it came out. When you're done reading this post, go over to their site and show them some love. Buy a shirt, hat, something with your favorite bird on it.

Some neat facts about this coming weekend's competiton.
- the Bloggerhead Kingbirds will be representing 4 different states; NJ, NY,NC and MA
(I bet we're going to be one of the most geographically diverse teams competing)
- Quintus will be mo-blogging the event to the Owl Box Blog (when we can)
- Nate will be posting updates to twitter (when we can). You can follow it at: https://twitter.com/NC_N8
(I say 'when we can' because this is a competition, and we are serious about winning this thing!)
- some of the big 'sexy' target birds for the team include: King Eider, Black-headed Gull, Ivory Gull, Snowy Owl, & White-winged Crossbills. (And we have every intention of heading north for the cooperative Northern Hawk Owl,but that's not part of the competition)
