Video – May 2015 Birding Highlights

I started out the month of May scouting for the 9th Annual Delaware Bird-a-thon. My team, the BirdsEye Birders, competed in the County Challenge, where we set out on May 3rd to try and find as may species as possible within the boundaries of New Castle County. The results are not in yet, but we tallied 139 species in 24 hours and raised $500! After the bird-a-thon, warbler migration peaked, then shorebirds followed soon after. I also had to deal with finals, wrapping up the semester, and giving two talks, one in the middle of May and a digiscoping talk at the end of the month. In between, I birded as much as I could in White Clay Creek State Park, Middle Run Natural Area, and Port Penn Impoundments in search of new additions to my New Castle County year list! Overall, I submitted 56 eBird checklists and tallied 181 species. I compiled a video of highlights from the month of May that I shot with a iPhone 5c + Celestron Regal M2 80ED & Phone Skope Adapter. Enjoy and bird on!
