Project 251

Can we submit a complete checklist in every town in Vermont this year? 2021 was the first year where every town, gore, and grant was birded in - hopefully we can do the same again in 2022!

To participate, share a minimum 5-minute long, complete checklist with the eBird account vermont251.

Why are there green towns? Those are towns which people birded in without a high carbon cost! If you bird at home, or if you bike, walk, canoe, hitch-hike, or otherwise spend no carbon costs going to another town, send me an email saying which town you'd like to turn green. Hopefully we can bird responsibly and still fill out this map!

In June, I updated the map to include all of the eBird data on eBird from before June. This was a significant shift - we went from 110 towns birded to 247. This makes it much more likely that we'll manage to bird in every town this year, as there's so few left to cover!
