From the predawn hoot of a Great Horned Owl on January 1st to a Hoary
Redpoll at a feeder during the waning days of 2014, hundreds of Vermont
birders scoured fields and fens, mountains and meadows, lakes and lawns to
discover as many species as possible during a single calendar year.

The 4th annual Vermont County eBird Quest pitted county versus county,
birder against birder — all engaged in a friendly rivalry for top birding
honors. The main idea behind the year-long Quest is simply to get people
out birding, promote camaraderie, and better document bird life across the
state, usingVermont eBird. With over 36,000 eBird checklists submitted and
over 2.6 million individual birds tallied in 2014, there is no doubt it was
another banner year for birders and Vermont eBird.
