Subject: Kiptopeke Challenge
The Ninth Kipotpeke Challenge will be held September 20, 2003. This
volunteer event is used by the Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory to
raise funds in partial support of songbird, hawk and butterfly banding
programs on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The data obtained in these
programs are disseminated to the public and to federal, state and local
agencies to assist in land-use planning decisions, especially on
Virginia's Eastern Shore. Each team raises funds (minimum $100)
through organizational and individual sponsorships that are tax
deductible by the sponsor. These funds will then be used by the CVWO.
All participants get prizes and traveling trophies are awarded in
categories for most species in 24 and 3 hours, most funds raised and
best youth team performance. Prior experience is not necessary, as the
CVWO will provide advice and information on hot spots (for example, see
http://www.cvwo.org ). For more information or to enter the Kiptopeke
Challenge contact Brian Taber (taberzz@aol.com) or Kurt Gaskill
(kurtcapt87@aol.com) or write directly to the CVWO at: Coastal
Virginia Wildlife Observatory, PO Box 912, Eastville, VA 23347.
P.S. This is a charity event that everyone can do! And, you have an
excuse for a bit of birding fun on the eastern shore during the peak of
migration! - Kurt
