Young Birder of the Year

First Place, both age groups

Leica 8x32 Ultravid HD donated by Leica Sport Optics
The new HD models stand out not only because of their extreme compactness, but also their new HD lenses, which give them increased high-performance. This binocular with 32 mm objective lens diameter, 8 x magnification and a large field of view of 135 m allows for a great overview and steadiness of image. It is the new reference class for those seeking minimal weight with maximum optical performance.

Attendance at a field ornithology camp up to $1000 value donated by Leica Sport Optics. Ornithology camps are designed for young people interested in bird ecology, conservation and the environment. They provide a unique field experience in which students from across North America learn the basic principles of field ornithology, bird adaptations, and bird behavior.

Second Place, both age groups

Leica C-LUX 2 Digital Compact Camera donated by Leica Sport Optics
This elegant, ultra compact camera has an impressive array of precision optics and digital technology. The high-speed wide-angle 28 mm zoom lens enables you to take stunning, space-grabbing shots. The optical image stabiliser and intelligent exposure control prevent camera shake and the 7.2 megapixel CCD sensor enables you to take prints suitable for enlargement.
