I and the Bird

Mike introduces this edition of I and the Bird:

The power of a group of like-minded individuals working together towards a common goal never ceases to astound me. No, I’m not talking about the blatant (and unsuccessful) efforts of FIFA referees to keep the U.S. team from advancing in the World Cup! I’m speaking instead about the greatest group nature blog on the planet, the Bird Ecology Study Group website out of Singapore.

The BESGroup blog, led by the indefatigable Y C Wee, takes the group’s commitment to know more about a bird than just its name forward by providing a platform from which each member can share field observations, photos, and research. This blog is simply amazing and successful too based on its long history! If you’re not already a fan, you’re in for a treat but make sure you start with Y C’s “many faces of birding” edition of I and the Bird #128.

I can only echo that.
