2009 SalvaNATURA bird-a-thon results

By Charlie • December 16, 2009 • No comments yet

A record 336 species, with nearly all of the seven participating teams recording over 100 species, was recorded on this year’s bird-a-thon in El Salvador. A few years ago breaking 100 species was impressive but with better coverage and knowledge of the local avifauna, more experienced observers, and better equipment, teams can average 125 species in two days. Funds raised support five full-time bird monitoring stations located in western El Salvador. Full details are at http://www.birdathones.blogspot.com/.
