One Million Birder Project

Birds, Blogging

I ran across the Birdfreak blog a few days ago (they’re located in a town not too far from where I grew up). They’d like to compile a list of a million birders in the US. Here is what they say:

The One Million Birders Project is a lofty goal to get a list of names of 1,000,000 birders. This list is not to create a mailing list; it is just a way to quantify the number of birders there are in the U.S. It is the hopes that together, one million birders can create a big difference in conservation and habitat restoration efforts.

Several good terns

These terns were on the north beach on Tybee Island in April. Dean and I took a walk along that beach to find painted buntings and couldn’t figure out how to go inland. We eventually did*, but not before seeing flocks of terns and other shore birds. These guys, though were my favorite. They all seemed cartoonish. Perhaps I’ve seen one too many Disney movie.

* figure out how to go inland that is – we didn’t see any painted buntings, much to my dismay
