Team Redhead did it! The Lab's student team tallied 166 bird species during the World Series of Birding on Saturday, May 11, and took home the Cape May County Award. Best of all, they raised funds for undergraduate research and conservation projects. Great job Redheads! Read more about their victory on the Lab's Round Robin blog. A huge thank you to all who donated in support of the team!
