We Are Once Again Asking You to Send Us Good Birds
We need 'em!
Hello fellow bird-lovers! We are here with our semi-annual request for you to send us some of your favorite birds that we can feature on Bird of the Week.
Our records show that you haven’t had a chance to tell us which birds we’ve been missing out on for nearly five months. Too long! So now we are once again throwing our doors open to you. We can PROMISE you that you won’t be sending your suggestions into some black box. Reader submissions are one of the core parts of this feature. A reader-submitted bird even won the first-ever Fowl Hysteria™ tournament!
So please: let us know which bird you simply DEMAND that we write about. You can get in touch at hello@discourseblog.com, or you can just drop your bird info in the comments below. Then you’ll get to see your fave in one of our reader editions, or even in a standalone Bird of the Week post!
And if you need a reminder of the birds we’ve already featured, just click here. Thanks in advance, and bird on!!!!!!
The yellow breasted chat is a cutie and a mystery and a jazz musician and I love them. They're the only bird in their family because we used to think they were warblers but oh buddy they aren't warblers. Maybe they're blackbirds? Who knows! Anyway they have a VERY long and CRAZY song that just whinnies and gurgles and cackles all OVER the place and makes you think maybe you like free jazz but it's more likely that you like cute songbirds with banana-colored chests and snazzy white spectacles. Great bird!!
I made a new friend on the water this summer: the pigeon guillemot. They live in the bird equivalent of apartment complexes in cliff sides, and they are extremely fashionable, with a crisp black and white look finished off with bright red boots.
