Are you ready for some birding?

You will not hear Hank Williams Jr. singing the theme song with the previous question, but there will be a big competition taking place in Cape May this weekend: The New Jersey Audubon’s 36th World Series of Birding.

An event that started with 13 teams has grown to nearly 70 teams competing for the title of being the best “birders” around.

Split into three divisions, teams will spend 24 hours, beginning at midnight Saturday, to locate as many species of birds as they can, both visually and audibly. The teams will submit their results and gather at The Grand Hotel of Cape May Saturday for “Finish Line” celebration, followed by an awards brunch Sunday.

Besides celebrating birds, the competition is a chance for the Audubon to raise money for bird conservation, with the group amassing nearly $1 million for the cause.

“We are excited to once again host this amazing event,” said Eric Stiles, president and CEO of NJ Audubon. “We founded The World Series of Birding as both a philanthropic and competitive activity, and it has grown into an event for all ages and skill levels, where birders have fun while raising awareness and money for bird and habitat conservation. It is truly a unique experience for bird enthusiasts.”

Live results of Saturday’s competition can be found on the competition’s website www.worldseriesofbirding.org.

In honor of the upcoming birding competition, we wanted to see how you would do in this competition. Try your luck at guessing the various types of birds.
