2017 Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) wild-release challenge: Feb. 1-28:The 20th annual GBBC - Great Backyard Bird Count - will be held from Feb. 17-20, and this bird-themed wild-release challenge is held for the full month of February in its honor.
You don't have to participate in the bird-count to join the release challenge, but if you're at all interested in birds it's worth a look. The Audubon Society web site describes the count here ( http://www.audubon.org/---/about-great-backyard-bird-count ), but in short: the bird count encourages people around the world to note the different types and numbers of birds they see during this 4-day period, and log the results online; here's the web site for the count itself ( http://gbbc.birdcount.org/ ). It's fun and easy - you can participate just to report that one bird you saw outside your window or on the way to work, or you can keep more careful records throughout that weekend. This release challenge will run through the month of February. Qualifying books include: books ABOUT birds, with birds on the COVER, and/or with birds, types of birds, or parts of birds ("beak", "feather", "quill", etc.) in the TITLE, SUB-TITLE, or AUTHOR. Associated words like "fly" or "perch", "egg" or "nest" or "sing" will work, too. (If you aren't sure about a word being bird-related, make a convincing argument and I'll let it in. See last year's thread for examples: http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/527750 ) Embedded words are fine, as long as they're within one title/sub-title word. The release notes should include a reference to the challenge AND a link to the bird-count site. (Once the count's over people can still enjoy browsing the sightings around the world.) Again, you don't have to participate in the bird-count in order to participate in the challenge, though if you want to do so that'd be cool! (Posting your bird-counts here isn't necessary either, but might be fun, especially if you spot anything unusual.) Because the count is for wild birds, only wild releases will count for the challenge. Prizes: I'll give a book or wings-for-a-month to the person with the most qualifying releases, and to one other participant, chosen randomly. Post releases in this thread, starting Feb. 1 - and enjoy!

SUPER!!! Not certain if I'll participate in the bird count again this year, GoryDetails...but definitely in your challenge. THANKS for hosting!!! : )
|
|
|
Reminder: check for overlapping challenges! Books about roosters would also work for the Asian Zodiac challenge, those about lovebirds would fit the Valentine challenge, etc.
|
 |

Not much good at spotting birds, though...and even worse at identifying them.

Post in this thread - I did mention that in the parent message. Go for it!

1. (BEN) M. Baglio's Animal Ark: Siamese in the Sun...ironic that "cat" book has name of infamous extinct "hen" as author's first name. ; D
http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/14379704 NOTE: While LARK appears on the book cover in the upper left corner, it is part of two words, AnimaL ARK, and not one, so it doesn't count, however (hoping this may count)... the Author's first name...BEN aka "Booming BEN", ("Booming" for the sound made by the air sacks on the bird's neck during their mating ritual) was the last surviving HEATH HEN who, per Wikipedia, was last seen on his traditional lekking ground between West Tisbury and today's Martha's Vineyard Airport on March 11, 1932. Supporting links below... Rare Footage of Heath Hen on Martha's Vineyard https://www.youtube.com/watch?... This interesting 2014 article suggests that perhaps this extinct species of bird may return via biotechnology. http://www.mvtimes.com/---/heath-hens-boom-echo-marthas-vineyard

Fascinating history of Booming Ben! I don't want to add "personal names of individual birds" to the challenge, but it turns out your book qualifies anyway: there's a species of cuckoo called "ani":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ani_(bird) I don't think I'd known that before, but I keep stumbling across unexpected bird-names that are great embedded-word candidates: "rail", for example, or the crossword-puzzle favorite "erne", plus many more...

Fascinating history of Booming Ben!I thought so as well, and while I can't quite recall just how I stumbled upon it at the moment, I DO know that it was all because of your Backyard Bird Challenge...LOVE IT!!! : D I don't want to add "personal names of individual birds" to the challengeUnderstandable!!! , but it turns out your book qualifies anyway: there's a species of cuckoo called "ani":FABulous!!! I had no idea that ANI was a Cuckoo Species, either...THANKS, GoryDetails!!! : D I don't think I'd known that before, but I keep stumbling across unexpected bird-names that are great embedded-word candidates: "rail", for example, or the crossword-puzzle favorite "erne", plus many more...aMAZing what knowledge one gains by participating in the BookCrossing Challenges...and other BC Forums...I LOVE being a BOOKCROSSER!!! : D

What a great idea for a release challenge. I'm sure you've been hosting this for years and I've been clueless. I just checked my stash(es) and found only 4 which seem to apply, but I have to go to the library to pick up a book and I'll visit the FOL and see what else may be fluttering about. Back later with release notes.

Glad to have you join the challenge!
I just checked my stash(es) and found only 4 which seem to apply, Since the challenge includes cover-art - including publisher logos of birds, like Bantam and Penguin - you may have more than you think! (The embedded word "hen" appears in lots of books, and would fit this challenge as well as the Zodiac one.)

Thanks to everyone who participated! We released 131 books in 2 countries, and 6 states, and who knows how many actual birds we saw!
Since solittletime has opted not to play for prizes, the most-releases award goes to Bascula by a nose - er, beak ( http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/14441102 ). Random selection for bonus prize: Secretariat ( http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/14449419 ). I'll be in touch for addresses - and thanks again!
