30th Anniversary Birdathon 2020~Talkeetna/Trapper Creek~Alaska Spring Birding
For the past 30 years, Talkeetna and Trapper Creek Birders have held a Birdathon. Local birders count up all of the bird species they see in a 24 hour period. This year's numbers were rather low due to colder temperatures, frozen lakes, rivers as well as snow on the ground into May.
Chris and Barb Mannix were crowned this year's champions with 33 bird species. Wade Hopkins counted 30 species as a non-motorized green birder champion and Jasper Marder and his family received the Magpie Pin.
52 bird species were counted, including Osprey, Bufflehead, Harlequin Duck, White Winged Crossbill, Lapland Longspur, and a Ruby Crowned Kinglet.
