Two teams from Centreville won their divisions at the World Series of 
Birding.

The Steiner Merlins won the Elementary School Division with 117 species. 
Members are Brett Mallon, Charles Lansinger, Danny Lenchner, Alyssa Walls 
and Andi Hilton.  There is no greater joy than a third grader shouting out 
"Robin with a sore throat!  Robin with a sore throat!  SCARLET TANAGER!!"

The Steiner Peregrines won the Middle School Division with 158 species. 
Members are Michelle Long, Tabby Lansinger, Kelley Jewell and Kiley and 
Shannon Pignataro.  Shannon has been on a winning WSB team for 4 consecutive 
years while the other young ladies have been on 3 winning teams.
These enthusiastic, dedicated, hard working youth are truly the future of 
birding.

ps:   While Zach had a magnificent day with the DVOC and his skills are 
remarkable, these young ladies are certainly cuter than he is.
