Bahama Birders participate in GLOBAL BIG DAY 2016
Once again Grand Bahama Birders participated in Global Big Day, an event organized by Cornell University’s Ornithology Department.
The Bahamas was one of 144 countries from around the world where birders went into the field all day on May 14th counting and recording birds and submitting them to eBird, the world’s largest ornithological data base.
On that day, across the globe, 15767 participants recorded 6230 species. The Bahamas recorded 120 species for the day which represented an encouraging increase of 40 species over last year. The honour of having observed most species in the Bahamas went to Grand Bahama Birder, Delores Kellmann, who recorded 60 species for the day! The Birdclub of New Providence under experienced veteran birding guide, Carolyn Wardle, came in second with 56 species.
The new birding hotspots in the Bahamas, Inagua and Andros, also participated in the Big Day event. It was wonderful to see the efforts of Tarra Lindo and Vivian Moultrie on Inagua who reported 54 and 52+ species respectively. Both are advanced students in the Audubon/BNT birding guide training program. This program is also conducted on Andros and two of its students, Rinald Rolle and Samuel Nelson contributed 40 and 24 species for the day. Abaco and Exuma were both contributors to the count as well.
We in The Bahamas feel privileged to be part of this annual event which brings the global community of birders, researchers and conservationists together in one common goal – to protect birds and their habitat and the natural places needed for the health of our planet!
