Today's Record features my latest column on the winners of this year's official Birdy 30 contest, in which readers competed to see who could see the most species in any 30-minute time frame over Valentine's Day weekend. 

We had 22 contestants and some cool birds.

In the photo gallery are Deb Endresen, who won the contest with 21 species (and a lot of feeders),  Maryann and Bill Fahey, who won the random drawing, a pair of Eastern Bluebirds photographed by Bill Wall of Manahawkin during the Birdy 30,  a Downy Woodpecker photographed during the competition by Susan McTigue of Closter.

Congratulations, all!

The column, with the winners and exciting details, is here.
