CAPE MAY, N.J. (AP) - May 10, 2009
Bird enthusiasts making their way through New Jersey on Saturday
catalogued a total of 269 different species as part of the New
Jersey Audubon Society's annual "World Series of Birding."
The competitive fundraising event asks birders to identify as
many species as they can by sight or sound in a 24-hour period.
The "Lagerhead Shrikes" team came in first overall, counting
229 species in the state.
A team from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, N.Y., that
had been looking to reclaim the title it lost last year instead
came in third, with 221 species.
