Global Big Day—the
biggest birding day of the year, is just a few days away. Again this year we are joining Birds Caribbean in its annual Global
Big Day fundraiser. This fun virtual team event pit together multi-national teams in a friendly competitive birding event in an effort to raise funds for a Caribbean Conservation, etc. This
year's efforts will be geared towards raising funds to provide travel scholarships for Caribbean nationals
to attend the AOS & BC Joint Conference in Puerto Rico this June .
Last year our small team The Bajan Birders, made up of birders from Barbados and one from St. Lucia, not only had fun but also assisted in raising funds and won a few awards.
Teammate Jerome Foster, of St. Lucia, who was only able to bird a few hours in the morning won the Life in the Wild category with “American Kestrels Mating”
and third in Best Bird Photo with an Immature Little Blue Heron.
Yours truly was awarded the Best Shorebird with an image of a Ruddy Turnstone in breeding plumage.
In all, our 9-member
Bajan Birders team

team was renamed “Bajan Birders & Friends”, and invitations to join our team were
extended to birders across the globe.
