The Youth Contests for 2021-2022 close today!

Conococheague Audubon Society’s Youth Contests offer opportunities for young people to win a cash prize! Both our “Longest Bird Species List of the Year” and “Best Bird Photo of the Year” contests involve your love of nature and your keen observation skills. The contests will be judged in two different age groups – ages 5 to 15 and ages 16 to 18. See details on the Youth Contest page. The contests started last year on December 1, 2021 and end tonight, when you submit your entries at our regular meeting.

Please note: We need your parent’s/guardian’s permission for you to enter the contest and for us to report selected information about you to our members and the public. Your parent/guardian must also affirm your entries comply with the rules. So, be sure you have the completed necessary forms when you submit your entries.

• The work day scheduled for 15 April is CANCELLED due to the weather forecast.
• From Josh Donaldson – At this point the forecast is for thunderstorms starting early tomorrow morning and most of the morning so we might as well cancel it already.  We’ll take the rain!If the storms happen to clear in the afternoon I’ll probably go out to work, we’ll see.  Anyone with questions about what they can work on I can meet there some other time next week just get in touch.  Otherwise, as usual, everyone is welcome to work at their convenience (anytime) or come to the next work party!

  Serviceberry, Redbud, and Ragwort are all in bloom at the garden, other plants are just beginning to pop through the surface.

  Thanks for your interest and contributions!
