March 7th, 2010 | 
Author: I’ve been away from Birder’s Lounge for a couple of weeks, and I am glad to return with the next Challenge for Charity contest. The first person with the most correct answers will win a $10 donation in their name, to the wildlife/nature/conservation charity of their choice. If the winner correctly answers the Bonus question, the donation increases to $15.

Winner – Challenge for Charity – February, 2010
Winner - Zeb Acuff, for Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research
We had another lively contest with seven participants vying for the $10 prize for their favorite wildlife/conservation/nature charity. Zeb Acuff has won the contest, answering all of the questions correctly – though I stumped everyone on the bonus question. ;-0 Zeb has chosen Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research to receive the $10 donation in his name. I have just enough time to put this up before heading to Austin, TX for the weekend – will see what the birds are doing a little further south! Read the rest of this entry »

ID Challenge – January, 2010
Time for the first Challenge for Charity (ID Challenge) contest for 2010, where participants play for their favorite wildlife/nature/conservation organization. This year, I’m going to make it a little more interesting and a little less intimidating. I will give a hint for each picture, and toss in a bonus question each month, worth another $5. The rules are the same – have fun and good luck!

Hint for Picture 1: This colorful couple may very well have a nest box they call “home.”

Winner – ID Challenge, December, 2009
Winner - Jason Hogle - chose to let me choose the charity!
The last ID Challenge contest for 2009 has come to a close and we have a winner! Jason Hogle of Xenogere was the first person to get the most number of correct answers. This month, we had 2 participants – thank you!
Jason has chosen to let ME choose the charity! Thanks so much, Jason – you’re the best. I am delighted to send this check to Project Coyote, a wonderful organization that I am currently researching.
Look for another year of monthly contests in 2010, where participants can play to win donations for their favorite wildlife/nature/conservation charities.
