Don’t forget, the NBN board isn’t just for announcing events! If you have contests or promotions, want to share a new project you’re involved in, share 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 send it in!
Submissions can be sent to sanderling [at] symbiotic [dot] ca, 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.
Meet-ups and Field Trips
Dawn of Dawn’s Bloggy Blog and the Birders who Blog, Tweet and Chirp are doing it again - this time in California! The next BwBTC outing is scheduled for the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, November 21. It’s open to everyone, and is a great way to meet some fellow like-minded birders and bloggers! For more details on the specifics of the event, or to sign up to participate, visit Dawn’s post here. The outing will be hosted by Larry Jordan of The Birder’s Report. For a taste of some of the birds to be seen, visit Larry’s post recounting a recent visit.
Contests and Promotions
Dave Ingram at Dave Ingram’s Natural History Blog has just produced a 2010 West Coast Wildflower Calendar featuring wildflowers from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. He plans to give away one calendar to a randomly selected person who can successfully identify a mystery flower on the calendar post page. The draw date is set for November 30. For more information, visit Dave’s blog post about it.
Amber of Birder’s Lounge also reminds members that her photo ID challenge and Do Something! (Good) campaign are always ongoing. Some great causes benefit from both of these, so swing by and participate, if you haven’t already!
