Bird-a-thon sets Kansas bird record across 525 miles
A Kansas University team including Townsend Peterson and Mark Robbins logged 206 species on May 13, a statewide single-day high and among the nation's top counts. The expedition, part of the Big Day tradition by the American Birding Association, started near Lawrence and covered areas from Leavenworth to Cheyenne Bottoms, highlighting species losses like the greater prairie chicken and Henslow's sparrow.
