Photo Contest reminder

MooseNewsBlog has a little photo contest we want to run. The subject is nesting birds, deadline is 30 June, 2009. The rules are pretty darn simple.

• Gotta have a really nice photo of a nesting bird with young. Just sitting on the nest or adult with eggs will not qualify.
• Gotta have a second photo, nothing special other than it has to demonstrate the nest successfully fledge its young.
• Photos have to be taken in 2009
• Can be from anywhere on this planet

We will have a upload page opened in June for folks to submit their images. All rights to the images belong to the photographer, but by submitting your images, you agree to having your images posted on MooseNewsBlog for a couple of months.

And just to make it fun, we have a prize for the winner. Nikon Sport Optics is awarding a great pair of bins, the Monarch 8×42 ATB.

What you see here is a Satin Bowerbird, a crazy Australian bird that gathers as you can see everything colorful and places it around the nest to attract the female.

We’re looking forward to seeing your images!
