I started the new blog so I could take up less air time over here about birding.
I promise.
However, just once more, I wanted to let those of you who follow Olive Plants for the birding content know you can read all about our birding adventures at Birders for Life.
We participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend and saw a lot of interesting birds.
We saw 35 species on Friday, 35 species on Saturday (although there was a lot of overlap), and only 14 different species on Monday. However, we counted nearly 1,000 birds on Monday and almost 1,500 birds in all!
Fly on over to read all about it!

Birding 101 has moved....
If you have been following Olive Plants for my bird watching content, please check out my new blog that I coauthor with my fellow birding enthusiast, Heather. Together we are The Birding Chicks, and our blog is Birders for Life.
I have moved Birding 101 to B4L and am adding in several new posts and updating the old ones to include even more tips! I have feedburner set up now so that you can have our posts delivered directly to your inbox. Please subscribe so you won't miss any of our tips and tweets!
Also, don't forget the Great Backyard Bird Count is this weekend. It only takes fifteen minutes to participate; however, like eating a bag of Lay's potato chips, once you start, I'm sure you'll want to keep going!
Lay's Potato Chips?!? Why did I mention those?? If, like me, you are trying to rid your life of unneeded calories, join me for Wednesday Weigh-ins!
And Heather is hosting a meme on her blog called Tweet and See. To participate, keep a record of the birds you see and hear during the month then record your list on your blog on the last day of the month and link in at Kingdom Arrows.
Heather and Barb, the Harmony Art Mom, are also hosting a new meme, Drawing with Children, Nature-Style. Barb has written lesson plans to accompany the book, Drawing with Children by Mona Brooks, and has made them available for free on Squidoo. I am going to use these plans with my VSL. They look great. Thanks Barb! Thanks Heather!
Happy Birding and watch out for those potato chips!

How It All Began
In the next few weeks (maybe months) I will be moving a lot of my bird watching content over to my new blog which I co-author with my friend Heather. It is my intention to add new content as well, in particular teaching tips.
Today I posted a new article about How It All Began. The story of how we started bird watching with the Counter-cultural School family is one that is near and dear to my heart, and I felt it was a story which needed to be told.
Heather posted a great tip on identifying birds by call. Hop on over to read it, too.
Together Heather and I are the Birding Chicks, and we have started our new blog, Birders for Life, to help other budding bird watching enthusiasts and to help our readers teach this pastime to their children as well. We have other exciting plans for the blog, too, but that will have to wait for another day....
Happy Birding!
