Contests for birding followers & friends

This morning, Linda Rockwell in New Mexico won a copy of the "Birds of Western North America" field guide by Paul Sterry and Brian E. Small. How'd she do this? By writing a haiku that included the word "thrasher." How'd she hear about the contest? By following @WBeditor on Twitter.

If you haven't joined the conversation there already, please do. You'll learn of future contests with prizes. The same goes for WildBird's Facebook page.

Announcements appear randomly and usually involve a quick turnaround (as in "The first person to provide the correct answer to...") or a deadline (such as "Reply before 9 a.m. PST Friday with..."). Keep an eye on those pages to see your chance to win prizes!
