Superbowl of Birding IX Results Are In! The Superbowl of Birding IX was held on January 28, 2012. This is a unique competition to find the greatest number of species and to earn the greatest number of points based on the rarity of the birds recorded. The Joppa Cup is awarded to the team that collects the most points by the end of the specified 12-hour birding day. Strategy and planning are essential in order to win this competition.
A huge thanks to NIKON the Lead Corporate Sponsor of the Superbowl of Birding IX.
