December 11 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The World Series of Birding is the largest annual bird competition in the world, held in Cape May, NJ, by New Jersey Audubon (for the last 40 years).

Roshan Vignarajah is a young birder and a member of the Youth Maryland Ornithological Society (YMOS), as well as a naturalist with a passion for insects, especially fireflies and moths. Since the age of eight, Roshan has been a dedicated birder and student of nature. Roshan has participated in and won the World Series of Birding middle school division three times, and has captained the team two times. He is an active birder in Howard County whose favorite spots include the Howard County Conservancy and Triadelphia Reservoir and his favorite local birds are the Connecticut Warbler, the Rock Dove, and Cackling Goose.
