Howdee all,
This Skywatch Friday comes from Plum Island.Newburyport, Ma.
What..this is not sky! Shame! but aren't these ferns lovely..
I know there are some sensitive ferns here…the large lobed ferns…and there is one whose name eludes me…it is the smaller daintier looking fern…its last leaves toward the bottom are curved down…like Yosemite Sam's moustache..Laura from The Interstitial Spaces blog knows the name..Laura…are you there???
We spent last Saturday with a group of Bloggers, Twitters and those that use Chirptracker..
Most of you know what Blogging is..and Twitter…but some…have not heard of Chirptracker. Chirptracker is Twitter for Birders. You can post your sightings, chat with other birders and eventually post video, photos etc. directly from chirptracker. (Chirptracker is still in beta) Chirptracker works with Twitter…you can post something on Chirptracker and it can automatically post the same thing to Twitter. Matt Bango and others are working hard to make Chirptracker work well for us Birders.
Anyway…I use both mediums. I recently discovered this new cyber world..
And this new world has been kind to me….As we travel and bird my Chirptracker and Twitter friends…are there to help me find the best places to bird.
Facebook is another community I use. I love to keep track of Family and Friends on facebook..and within the last five months have added Birdie friends.
I started a group on Facebook as a way to keep track of Birders who use Facebook that have blogs who may or may not also use Twitter and Chirptracker.
The group is called Birders who Blog, Tweet and Chirp.
Some people use just one or the other…I like all venues for different reasons.
I plan on having more and encourage others to do the same thing.
Its allot of fun to share our common interest of birds, nature and blogging.
Venues like Facebook, Twitter and Chirptracker make our world a little smaller.
I encourage you to try them out for size. If you need any help understanding them feel free to email me.. I am still learning myself.
We would like to have a bird outing in Ct. this next month.
We leave for Ct, tomorrow.
In the works..is a Birders who Blog, Tweet and Chirp meets Birds and Beers.
Birds and Beers is Birdchicks get together In MN. So if you will be in the Minneapolis,St. Paul area the weekend of August 14th we will do some birding and some beering!
Join us!
Respond to this blog, post. Facebook me, Tweet me…or send me a Chirp.
Oh yeah…and have a Happy Skywatch Friday…
now go..i have kept you much to long..
reach for the skies
