Lots happening in the Bird blogging world.

The Greatest Network of Birding and Nature blogs,

Nature Blog Network,

has some great changes in store for us..read about it here

continuing the conversation

…………………………..

Over at 10,000 Birds,

Corey just announced the new inclusion of more Bird bloggers to their website…

New 10,000 Birds Beat Writers 

Corey says they don't beat their writers….though, after reading a few comments online, I am not sure if that is true or not :)

So..do they Beat their writers????

Read the above link to see what Corey means by his title, and to see the wonderful bloggers who will be joining their cast of characters.

…………………………………………………………

The ABA recently appointed a New President, Jeffrey Gordon, and has the Birding Blogosphere a twitter..and more hopeful than ever, that the ABA is for all of us.

The ABA has also announced a Blog and  made several posts…one recent post by Nate introduces several blogs for readers to check out…

(Wow, Nate, you sure do get around)

I have my place in this Bird blogging world.

I love to read Birding and Nature blogs and It will be my pleasure to introduce others to some wonderful Bird Bloggers out there.

 

The site was just launched this morning..

Read the first post by Gunnar explaining what we are all about.

Multi-author birding blog launched today

I find it so very interesting..that The Nature Blog Network, The ABA, 10,000 Birds and Gunnar have started very similar platforms around the same time.

Amazing…

I guess Great minds,do.. think alike…

 

I want to congratulate all the Bird Bloggers in all of these venues…

 

May we help enlighten others to the beauty and joy of Birding.Birding valley nature center_033

Happy Birding to you all!

  1. You bring your personality in to your blog posts and that's what makes each and every one of them special. It's not like reading something out of a text book. You allow people to get to know you and see what you enjoy and value in your life.. Which is birds, family, mushrooming, rving among many other things.
