The Merlin Youth Team from Steiner went on to appear on the Martha Stewart Show, Friday, May 25, 07, and were warmly received by Martha and her audience.

According to the two team captains, "A great time was had by all participants. The weather for the 24 hour event was great, with the Spring migration in full force. Everyone came home with exciting stories of sighting many local and migrating birds that Cape May is famous for in the Spring and Fall migrations, and our Steiner binoculars worked great", they said. The combined total of all entered teams totaled a whopping 265 species over the 24-hour New Jersey event.

Shown here are the two teams with members and company members of sponsor, Steiner-Germany.
