The 5th 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, using Vermont eBird. With nearly 30,000 eBird checklists submitted and over 267,000 bird records tallied by 1,236 birders in 2015, there is no doubt it was another banner year for birders and Vermont eBird.
