Sure there's time to participate in this year's COBC!

[Peter Burke]

COBirders,

The fifth annual Colorado Birding Challenge is this Saturday, Sept. 6! As of this morning, there are 39 teams registered for the COBC representing 21 different counties throughout the state. There are many wonderful, creative team names this year, here are three that caught my attention, here are three:

Cuckoos for Cocoa Puffs in Boulder County

Ptarmigeddon in El Paso County

100% Confirmed by Merlin in Grand County

The full list of teams can be viewed on the COBC webpage. Click the links to learn more about each team and consider making a pledge or donation to support their efforts!

Thank you to our 2025 COBC Sponsor, Front Range Birding and Optics, who will be providing prizes for the winning teams in each of the competitive categories. On that note, there are currently NO teams registered in the Under-25 category! So any students out there who want to form a team have a good chance to win this category!

Good luck to all the teams this year!
