Congratulations to the Eaglets.  And another unapologetic shout out to Eagle Optics.........remember when you buy something from Eagle Optics via the Maryland Ornithological Society (MOS website http://www.mdbirds.org/), Eagle Optics donates 5% of the cost of the item to MOS.  Thanks to everyone who has used this opportunity in the past.

The Eaglets, with team members Robbie Pfeiffer, Maya McGrory, Miele McCluskey and Faith McCarthy, 3rd and 4th graders that attend Kennard Elementary School in Centreville, competed in and won their youth division of the 29th WSB in New Jersey.

The youth spent 3 days of scouting prior to the event.  On Thursday they had 113 species and 99 species on Friday.  The Big Day on Saturday was even better ... 122 species!  They totaled 23 species of warblers before and during the event.

Next year will be the 30th WSB and the kids are already planning on how they can do better.
Congratulations to a great  bunch of kids.

ps:  Eagle Optics provided the kids 8x32 Eagle Optics Ranger binoculars for the event, along with Eagle Optics hats and shirts.  The bins worked really well for the kids.
Yes, this is an unabashed plug for Eagle Optics.
