Bird Blog & Online Contests for July 2011
Here’s a list of current (as of July 4th) blog & online contests by birders, for birders, and/or offering bird- or birder-themed prizes. Click on the links to learn more, check eligibility, and enter to win! If you are running a contest or know of something that should be added to this list, let me know by leaving a comment or sending me an email. This is a monthly post appearing on the first Monday of every month. I will add any updates I find during the month as a comment on this post. If you’d like to stay updated, you can subscribe to the comment RSS feed for this post.
Note also that due to lack of interest :( I will be suspending my monthly online giveaways here at MagnificentFrigatebird.com for the next couple of months, at least. Thank you to all that entered.
