It is with great sadness that I announce the death of the bird forum on AttractWildBirds.com

I had high hopes for a place where we could all come together and share our birding stories, where we could post photos we’d taken and help others to identify birds in their area.

But in truth in 6 months we were still only at 20 readers and writers to the forum (and not one of us very active at keeping it full of interesting content). However, new users registered very often, sometimes 3 or 4 of them in a day -pretending to be birders but really just creating accounts for links to their spam sites. Sad, because a forum link won’t do a thing for search engine ranks, nor will bird watchers be the least bit interested in the types of sites those users were linking to…

But this is better! A blog where we still can interact (I’ll write posts, you comment) and if you’re interested in writing articles for this bird space just email me and I’ll set you up with an account so you can write articles about your experiences as well! That is, if you’re interested in that type of involvement.

Otherwise, stay tuned in. Within the next week I’ll have this birder’s resource ready to roll with articles, products, and photos.

To your birding adventures!

Veronica
