1st annual The Best of Birding survey!
As part of WildBird's 20th anniversary, we're initiating the first-ever reader poll of this industry: The Best of Birding.
We want to know what birders of all skills think of various backyard products, binoculars, spotting scopes, printed media, activities, destinations and online/digital/audio media.
The survey form appears on pages 43 and 44 of the January/February 2006 issue. It will appear in the upcoming May/June issue too. We ask that you tear out that page (photocopies will not be accepted) and mail the completed form before July 1.
What do you get for your efforts? Well, if you vote for at least 25 of the 100 categories and provide contact info, you become eligible for some great prizes.
It is possible, however, for you to disqualify your entries; the rules appear on page 43.
Wanna see those prizes? Behold!
Nikon Sport Optics has offered a Monarch ATB 8x42, a waterproof roof-prism bin made with exclusive Eco-Glass, a 5.3mm exit pupil and an 8-foot close focus.
Victor Emanuel Nature Tours donated a $150 gift certificate for one of its 140 tours to more than 100 destinations worldwide.
Houghton Mifflin provided three books and a birdsong CD: The Grail Bird by Tim Gallagher, The Singing Life of Birds by Don Kroodsma, Wild America by Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher, and Peterson Field Guides: Backyard Birdsong CD.
Droll Yankees offered two Yankee Family squirrel-proof feeders, one each for two participants. The line includes Yankee Flipper, Yankee Tipper, Yankee Dipper and Yankee Whipper.
So, if you have an opinion... and don't we all... here's your chance to share it and win a fantastic prize.
Just pick up a copy of the January/February 2006 issue (the one with the preening Northern Cardinal on the cover), and turn to page 43. Also look for the survey in the upcoming May/June issue, and start making notes about which squirrel baffle, 7x42 binocular, tripod, regional field guide, festival, national forest, listserv and other items fit your definition of "best."
