I thought some of you would be interested in a contest Swarovski Optik,
Austria, is sponsoring, closing date of October 31, 06. The conditions and
submission information can be found at www.swarovskioptik.com. 20 of the
best submissions will be published in 2007; 300 Euros will be paid for these
pictures. In order to qualify for the 3 Grand Prizes, the digiscope image
must be accompanied by a second photo, taken at the same time, with a
"normal" lens. Now the kicker, the 3 Grand Prize winners will win a trip to
a Digiscoping Seminar in South Africa. I would love to see a Carolinabirder
win one of these slots! I hope someone from the group takes the time to
enter.

Subject: Coastal migration alert - Wednesday and Thursday look prime
From: "Cape Romain Bird Observatory" <crbo(AT)dmzs.com>

Birders,
Given the approaching cold front and favorable winds (recent westerlies
shifting to northwest tonight and north Wednesday and Thursday), a significant
push of migrating songbirds is likely to occur along the NC/SC coast over the
next couple of nights.
A moderate fallout of birds already occurred this morning around Charleston
Harbor and the McClellanville area, but I expect this to be piddling compared
to the coming wave.
So for those living in the NC/SC coastal plain, I advise getting out to your
local migration hotspots (by hook or crook) over the next couple of mornings.
