How about a birding show on Animal Planet?

The following was sent to me by Oregon Birders Online.

This is a one-time post and am doing so as a favor. Please delete now if you are not interested.


Richard Crossley (one of the three authors of The Shorebird Guide) has been working on a proposal for quirky and hopefully fun birdwatching television series called Wild in the City for Animal Planet.


Richard asked me to post this to OBOL in an effort to get this project launched. The execs of Animal Planet love the concept but they need to be convinced that there is a market for birdwatching-related programs and are looking for a big and quick response.


The big favor he asks is if you would check out the link below and answer a 6-question survey at the end of it. It takes about 5 minutes to watch the clip and answer the questions. It would really help their cause.


Here is the link. it will direct you to another link to view the demo and then you need to return to the main page to answer the 6 questions.

If you have non-OBOL friends you think might like to participate, please forward it to them. Richard et al would greatly appreciate it.


Best to you all this Memorial Day weekend!

Haha, I just read all this early this morning and filled in the survey. It reminds me of the World Series of Birding. :-)

Wellthen, why didn't you post it for the rest of us, LOL

This type of frantic pace is not what I would have had in mind for a birdwatching show. DOn't get me wrong, I would probably still watch it but birding, to me, is a relaxing past time and all the racing about is not my idea of birdwatching. I guess that's the difference in Los Angeles and Possum Valley. LOL ;))

Amen, crazybirdlady. My thoughts exactly.

That's what I mean that it reminds me of the "World Series of Birding". They have to get as many species as possible within a straight 24 hour period choosing a 3 county area.

Lots of Coffee and NoDoze I imagine. :-)
