At the New Haven Bird Club's December meeting, Green-winged Teal was randomly drawn as The Golden Bird! for 2002. Since 31 circles had it, a second drawing was held to determine which circle would get to direct the $500. This year's winning circle is Tom Hince & company at Holiday Beach Conservation Area in Essex County, Ontario, Canada. He will donate the $500 to the Holiday Beach Migration Observatory (HBMO). The HBMO is a volunteer, non-profit membership organization that promotes the study and protection of migrating birds. The primary activity of HBMO is the scientific study of fall raptor migrations through counting and banding of hawks at Holiday Beach Conservation Area.
