Birder of the Year program
In every issue, readers can answer questions that might lead to prizes, such as books from Houghton Mifflin and possibly a Swarovski binocular and a trip to a birding hotspot, like Costa Rica.
The questions appear in the Birder's Back Yard and Lister's Forum departments, and readers' responses must arrive at the WildBird office by the stated deadline. Chosen responses -- which demonstrate actions that benefit birds and/or birders -- will appear in a future issue, and one of the responses will garner the Backyard Birder or Forum Birder title and prizes.
In the November/December issue, the Backyard Birders and Forum Birders appear with the Birder of the Year ballot, and all readers can vote for the most deserving candidate. The winner will appear in the March/April issue and receive optics and a guided birding trip.
Enjoy the April 8-11, 2006, south Texas trip and the July 2008 Costa Rica trip.

I admire the ballsiness of submitting crows for a photo contest.
At that distance, how can you be sure that they're crows? Maybe they're ravens ;)
