Sure I would, Corey. But then I first would have to buy digiscoping equipment in order to have a chance to win…”digiscoping equipment”.:)
I don’t even know anyone in person who digiscopes. So I think it might be quite a tight contest. Might have been better to open up this contest to all kinds of bird photography and maybe get some more people into just that: “Digiscoping”.
Cheers, Klaus

Hi Klaus,
Sure its a tight contest and is aimed at digiscopers, there is no point in having a digiscoping competition aimed and general bird photographers, there is loads of those kinds of competitions, Swarovski specialise in Spotting Scopes so it makes sense that it is a digiscoping competition – they do not make cameras. So no argument really. -

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.
