Member-supported Causes
At the beginning of the month we promoted a contest being held by the NBN’s Wren, offering four free memberships to The 10,000 Birds Conservation Club. The contest has closed and the winners have been chosen. Congratulations to Sara, Melissa, Eva, and Deborah! To read more about the winners, visit Wren’s post here.
Blog Carnivals and Weekly Memes
Every Thursday, Kate of Adventures of a Free Range Urban Primate hosts a Life Photo meme, a chance for nature blogs to link and share images and posts on a variety of different themes celebrating the diversity of life. Each week a different theme is chosen. Similar to other weekly memes like Skywatch Friday or My World, Life Photo encourages bloggers to share their links at a central spot. Submitting your link is quick and easy, and the submission form will always be included in the Thursday post on Adventures of a Free Range Urban Primate. For examples from previous weeks, click here; for a list of 2010 themes by week, click here.

Counting on Birds:
The Great Backyard Bird Count gears up for its 13th year.
Wild Birds Unlimited is proud to be a major sponsor of the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) which takes place February 12–15, 2010. This is a joint project between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society.
For more information about the GBBC, visit the website at http://www.birdcount.org/. Participants may also enter the GBBC photo contest by uploading images taken during the count. All participants are entered in a drawing for prizes that include bird feeders, binoculars, books, CDs, and many other great birding products.
