Okay, so not an award so much as a win in a contest, but it is the season of A Christmas Story and I couldn't help but to hear the exclamation of The Old Man when he won the famous leg lamp as I read the email from Ray Brown, of Talkin' Birds fame, letting me know that my entry had been (randomly) selected as the winner of their most recent contest.
The contest asked listeners: To what did the Five Gold Rings refer in the song The Twelve Days of Christmas?
My answer: The ringneck pheasant, for while there is no way to know for sure, many think that all twelve of the items refer to birds, i.e. food.
But best of all, I will finally get to try the bird-friendly coffee of Birds and Beans. I've heard them on the show many times, but have yet to actually place an order. Well, the time has come and I look forward to receiving the coffee.
So there ya go, my major award. And if you want a chance to win something for yourself, or if you are just in search of a good Birding podcast, please give this one a try, it is one of the two I listen to reqularly, the other being BirdTalk by Scott and David Menough.
Happy Birding!
