It is time once again for a meeting of I and the Bird, the blog carnival about birds and the people who watch them. This week's edition, I and the Bird #21, is hosted at Cup O'Books, a blog that is not about birding. Visit this week's edition for an outside perspective on our common obsession. My post on house sparrows was included.I and the Bird depends on both bird-bloggers sharing their thoughts and experiences on the internet and the willingness of bloggers to host the carnival. If you would like to try hosting I and the Bird, contact Mike to set up a date. Potential hosts who have not hosted before should take a look at his series on hosting; it has some good advice.
