Community Bulletin Board – June 28, 2010

Apologies for the late bulletin board this week! I’ve spent the last two days wrestling with an unruly modem and a stubborn router, but think I’ve finally got them under control…

Don’t be shy! If you have contests or promotions, an upcoming blogoversary, want to share a new project you’re involved in or a cause you believe in, have items you wish to sell, want to solicit feedback from the NBN community, or anything else that might be of interest to our members, don’t hesitate to email me!

Submissions can be sent to canadianowlet [at] gmail [dot] com, with the subject line “NBN Bulletin Board”. Don’t forget to include your blog’s name and URL. The weekly board will be posted every Sunday.

Contests and Promotions

Dave of Dave Ingram’s Natural History Blog is giving away a copy of NWF’s Field Guide to Insects and Spiders of North America by Arthur V. Evans. Dave offers a glowing review of the book, at the end of which he offers up his review copy to readers. It’s an easy contest – simply comment at the book review post about why you’d like it, and a winner will be chosen at random – and given the praise Dave offers for the guide, it would make a great addition to your library! Contest closes July 8.

Amber of Birder’s Lounge is continuing her photo ID challenge for 2010 under the name Challenge for Charity. Try your hand at identifying a series of photos; the person with the most correct receives a $10 donation to the charity of their choice.
