Congratulations to COBC Teams!

[Peter Burke]

Congratulations to all the COBC teams and their supporters! This has been a terrific start to what will surely become a highly anticipated annual event in Colorado. The teams have until 11PM tonight to submit their big day lists. As a reminder to teams, please remember to share your final, county-level lists in eBird with COBC2021.

As we await the results, here are a few fun facts:

• 73 teams participated in 5 categories (Auto, Youth, Green, Photo/Audio and non-competing)
• 43 of Colorado's 64 counties were included
• Mineral County had the lowest par value at 60
• Pueblo County had the highest par value at 218
• Over $30,000 has been pledged!

Winners of the four competition categories will be awarded $1,000 to donate to the Colorado nonprofit organization of their choice.
