The 21st annual GBBC - Great Backyard Bird Count - will be held from Feb. 16-19, 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 wild-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: https://www.bookcrossing.com/---/538561 ) Embedded words are fine, as long as they're within one title/sub-title word and are in the same language as the book's title. 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. No need to sign up; just post releases in this thread, starting Feb. 1 - and enjoy!

...such as embedded "HEN"s (any book with "when" or "then", etc.), or books published by Penguin or Puffin - most, if not all, will have tiny bird-logos on the cover somewhere.

Breaking Free – Chick on the cover The book's a perfect candidate, but this challenge is for wild releases only. People are welcome to list controlled releases if they want to - the titles might give ideas to others {wry grin} - but they won't count for the most-releases tally. [To help me out, I'd appreciate it if anyone who does post controlled releases puts them in a separate part of the post from the wild releases, and doesn't include them in the running count.]

In previous years I've been frustrated by birds that were always around before the bird-count weekend, but which failed to show up while I was ready to tally them. Hope that doesn't happen this year!

34. As If A BIRD Flew By Me ( https://www.bookcrossing.com/---/14231755 ), photo. [Update: caught!]
[I spent a couple of hours counting birds this morning, from the comfort of my easy chair; the feeders out front attract a nice variety. Got to see most of the regulars, cardinals, jays, chickadees, hairy and downy woodpeckers, even a wren, but the nuthatches, titmice and red-bellied woodpeckers didn't show. I did see two turkey vultures circling up high while I was out running errands, though.]
