Hey folks, every March I’ve put on a fun voting competition to see who’s the most popular North American bird. This is the 10th year I’m doing it, and I generally have a good turnout on the iNat forum. If you would like to vote, just follow this thread on a day-to-day basis, comment the birds you like, and I’ll like your comment to denote your vote has been counted. We start this Saturday! Here’s the schedule and the brackets:
March 15 — First Four (four games)
March 16-23 — Round of 64 (four games per day)
March 24-27 — Round of 32 (four games per day)
March 28-31 — Sweet Sixteen (two games per day)
April 1-4 — Elite Eight (one game per day)
April 5-6 — Final Four (one game per day)
April 7-8 — Championship (Two-day voting window)
