Hi everyone--

I wanted to let every Wisconsin birdwatcher know that we're having an open 
house at the Birder's World website, BirdersWorld.com. For this week only, 
we're allowing every visitor full access to every article, every column, every 
bit of content on the website.

I thought you'd like to know because so many Wisconsin birdwatchers have 
written or contributed to the magazine over the years.

Here's what I mean:

Our most recent issue (June 2009) contains the results of a field test of 11 
top-of-the line binoculars conducted in March by members of the Riveredge Bird 
Club on their annual trip to the North Woods:

Spend More, Get More

Members of the Riveredge Bird Club also helped us evaluate 50-mm mini spotting 
scopes in our February 2009 issue:

Wisconsin birders Steve Betchkal, Craig D. Thompson, Anita Carpenter, and Andy 
Paulios have also written some of the best features we've published in the 
magazine.

And that's not all. Wisconsin birders Ty Baumann, Chuck Heikkinen, and John 
Idzikowski have written about three great Wisconsin hotspots for our regular 
"Hotspots Near You" feature:

subscriber or a registered visitor to the website, until Sunday, May 10. Please 
do take a look before Sunday!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
