Didntcha hear? It’s a big day! The race for Champions of the Flyway is today and were all participating at our own homes. I’m well above 60 sp in my local patches with singing gnatcatchers, GCKIs, and FOY Louisiana Waterthrushes!

We're also extremely close to 1000$ already! Who will be the one to break the threshold??

We are ready to accept donations! The Wheatears are full-time college students and are just $1,500 short of what we need to get to Eilat. Once we raise enough for our expenses, we will move to our #COTF page to raise money for our conservation fund goal! https://t.co/QeVTW5JEwz

While it’s loads of fun seeing awesome birds like these white-eyed gulls, we can’t forget our fundraising. Donations will be accepted until the end of the race so there’s still plenty of time for a last-minute surge. How much can we raise?? (Donation link is in our bio) #COTF18

[ABALeicaWheatears @ABAWheatears]

Finally caught up with the species on our logo today at Se’ifim Plains! Sadly not a subadult, but what can you do?? #logobird #COTF18 @ABA @AidanJPlace @MarkyMutchler @LeicaBirding @NC_N8 @runbirdgirl @flywaychampions @JeffBouton @jeffgyr
