The bird mapper with the highest number of cards submitted so far is Colin Jackson with 50 full protocol cards and 20 ad hoc cards. He is followed by Peter Wairasho with 28 full protocol cards and 1 ad hoc card. Peter ties in the total number of cards submitted (29) with Darcy Ogada, who has 8 full protocol cards and 21 ad hoc cards. Congratulations to our top three position holders! This is a challenge to all mappers; let us try and relocate the three top mappers out of their positions by birding and submitting records to the website....... Regionally, Doris Schaule has done marvelously at the Coast. She has 22 full protocol cards and 6 ad hoc cards. In Nairobi the Wednesday Birdwalk team from Nature Kenya is doing very well, with 18 full protocol cards. Others who have really been doing wonderfully at the Coast include Gabriel Katana and Gijsbertsen, Jaap. Kiambu region is also fairing well with great contributions from Elvira Wolfer and Washington Wachira. The list is endless....bravo to the entire Kenya Bird Map team for the great job; The national coverage is very encouraging. The northernmost pentad covered so far is number 0235c3720, between Mt. Kulal and Marsabit which was mapped by Peter Wairasho on 4/11/2013. To the west, the farthest pentad covered is number 0020c3425, at Mumias area mapped by Kassim Shitawah on 13/4/2014.

Let us try and get even farther along our borders and contribute to conservation of birds.......happy mapping
