One Million Visitors

By Mike • March 27, 2009 • 8 comments

1,000,000 is a nice round number, much like 10,000. Thanks to your remarkable support, we should be serving our millionth visitor to our humble blog sometime this weekend. Alas, we’re not giving away any prizes to whoever rolls the odometer on SiteMeter but if you’re lucky number 1,000,000 we’ll probably never forget you!

Hey guys, I just spotted this. I’m a little late, but congrats on the fantastic milestone! I checked SiteMeter and did a little figuring, and it looks like I’m getting pretty close to the 1,000,000 visitor milestone myself. If I can just keep up the pace I’ve been averaging, I should hit my millionth visitor sometime around the beginning of summer… in the year 2195! :-\

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.
