June Challenge*
The June Challenge is an easy-going contest to get birders out in the field in one of the more difficult times to find birds. In the June Challenge a birder picks a county, any county they like in the state, and tries to compile the biggest list of species for that area. All birds are countable and follow the American Birding Association (ABA) checklist. List your ABA species number first, and then the non-ABA birds, like a Mute Swan at Lake Eola.
One twist for the June Challenge is that you have to see the bird, not just hear it.
