In the mail: a First Friday entry!

Woo hoo! A writer submitted an entry for the July 6 edition of the contest. If I receive another entry, we'll have an actual competition on our hands.

The details:
* 500-word limit
* fictional story with four elements: a setting, a character or characters, a conflict and a resolution
* deals with birds, birders and/or birding
* no anthropomorphism of birds

The prize: two recently published books currently on the WildBird bookshelves. Perhaps you'd like to win Songbird Journeys by Miyoko Chu, Silence of the Songbirds by Bridget Stutchbury or Atlas of Bird Migration by Jonathan Elphick, among other choices.

The deadline: July 4.
