Backyard Bird Feeding, but Which Backyard? Maybe Another Contest?

Hi all,

Well, our little boat turned out just fine. Here's a bow shot of Harwich's Herring River from her...

A nice sunset picture... Extraordinarily serene...

Finally, this is a photo of a merganser...

But the last snapshot begs the question... Given that this blog is scattered across the World Wide Web, exactly whose backyard are we talking about? It's weird to write about Cape Cod chickadees (or even mergansers) and then think that someone half way across the country might find a disconnect. To address that question, we ask the following... "What birds do you have in your backyard that might seem unusual to someone on Cape Cod?" Hmmm... As a matter of fact, maybe we can go one step further to make this more interesting...

Suppose we had some sort of backyard bird photo contest... We'd have to work out the details as to when the contest starts and stops, and what the prize would be, but we could at least nail down some of the contest details like:

  • the bird photo would have to be taken by the entrant
  • eBirdseed.com employees and their family members cannot participate
  • the pic would have to be of a bird actually perched on a feeder
  • all appropriate snapshots would immediately enter the public domain (no copyrights) and be placed in our eBirdseed.com photo library for all to share and enjoy
As mentioned earlier, there are still details to be "hashed out" before the contest begins, but in general what do you think of the idea?

Pondering by the feeders,
