Wednesday, hereinafter called Welcome Wednesday, is the day of the week where we invite you to share your insight, excitement, and angst about issues pertaining to wild birds and birding. If you’ve got something important to say, 10,000 Birds can be your soapbox. We strongly encourage you to participate, particularly if you are a regular reader. If you think reading about birds and birding and everything that goes with them is fun, imagine writing about your favorite topic!

Whether Welcome Wednesday inspires you to write about conservation, a first encounter with a particular bird, your favorite birding spot, or anything else related to our free-flying feathered friends, feel free to contact us for more information about writing a Welcome Wednesday.
