Blogging Course Free from Simpleology

Hey everyone, I know this is a little off of the birding subject but I always want to pass on good information when it comes around.  If you are into blogging this is something you won’t want to pass up.  A free program on blogging, come on.  And from a group of folks who really know what they’re doing.

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

The following day was gorgeous and the birds were all out searching for food after several days of bad weather. One of the incredible birds I was able to see the last Sunday of the year was the beautiful Ferruginous Hawk. [continue reading…]

Christmas Bird Count – Redding California 2007

The last Christmas Bird Count in the Redding area was a great success. On Saturday, December 29th, we nearly broke a 34 year record for number of species, 129 tallied in 1991. We totalled 126 species, just shy of the record, in spite of the bad weather of mixed rain and snow all day. Get the full report here: Redding Christmas Bird Count
