Hi CT Birders, I wanted to remind those who may have forgotten or aren't familiar with World Shorebirds Day. It's a week long (not one day) count period where shorebird data of any kind from around the world is collected and analyzed for conservation and public awareness. It's a really great cause and it's incredibly easy to participate. All you need to do is share eBird lists with ANY shorebirds with the account: WorldShorebirdsDay. That's it. Count period is today, September 3rd through Sept 9th. Anywhere you are over the next 6 days, please enter data if you are able! It's run by Gyorgy Szimuly, a Hungarian birder and conservationist who specializes in shorebirds. Here's a link to checklist sharing info. You can see the whole website from here if you wish to learn more. https://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/2018/09/11/checklist-sharing/ I am in no way affiliated with this project to promote it, simply personal interest made me want to share this relevant cause to CT Birding.
