First Friday prizes

For his winning entry in this blog's monthly fiction contest, Clare Kines of The House & Other Arctic Musings received the chance to choose two recently published books. He selected The Illustrated Owl: Screech and Snowy and Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song.

Pretty cool prizes, eh? Jealous? Gonna let the Canadian keep winning this contest? A few minutes and 500 words could net you some quality bird books for your reading pleasure!

The third edition of First Friday will appear on Oct. 6, with entries due on Wednesday, Oct. 4. I'm looking forward to seeing your short stories about birds, birding and birders!

Given the month, maybe entries could include a Halloween or owl element?
