Win a Spotting Scope and More!

Posted by Kirk
It's time for a contest and there are three great prizes to increase your birding success.


First Prize:Vortex Skyline 80 Spotting Scope with 20 to 60 zoom eyepiece
                    Retail Value $750

Spotting scopes let you get closer to the action and make the critical ID to either add to your life list or simply enjoy the incredible detail of birds. It is tough, easy to focus and offers great views. 


Second Prize: DVD Set Watching Waders, Watching Sparrows and Watching Warblers by Judy Fieth and Michael Male                        
                        Retail Value $90 
Refine your identification skills and enjoyment of birding with these three DVDs. Watching sparrows take you up close and personal with every North American sparrow. Watching Waders brings you inside the lives of beautiful and majestic wading birds. Watching Warblers rounds out the set with a close up look at these colorful creatures. All the DVDs are great, all three together is even better.




Third Prize: Vortex Binocular Harness
                        Retail Value $28
Anyone who's carried binoculars around long enough knows that no matter how comfortable a neck strap you have and no matter how light your bins, eventually your neck will feel the strain. A binocular harness transfers the weight to your shoulders and can also keep your binoculars closer to your eyes and ready for action.




You don't need to hunt for birds all across the net or answer any trivia, there are simply three ways to enter. Winners will be chosen by random drawing from all entries. 

1) Follow @tcnaturalist on twitter.
Following on twitter will earn you one entry to the contest. If you're already a follower, Thanks! Send a message on twitter that says "I follow @tcnaturalist for nature updates" and I'll count that as an entry. There's no need to unfollow and then re-follow.


2) Click to tweet: Win a free spotting scope from @tcnaturalist! http://bit.ly/BirdingContest 
Clicking on the link above and tweeting about the contest will give you another entry. You can earn multiple entries into the contest with this method. Each day is a new opportunity to enter by tweeting. I will accept up to three tweeted entries per person, per day. You can modify the tweet but it must contain @tcnaturalist so I see it and it must contain the link to the contest.
