Mom, You'll Be So Proud, I'm In Newsweek
Sort of.
There's a new website called Bird Cinema that wants to be the You Tube for birding videos. It just launched and I have been playing with it to see what the video quality is like compared to using Google Video. Any the whoo, I posted some videos that I have taken with my digiscoping set up, one being the young Cooper's hawk bathing in the roof top puddle where I narrate, "I'm a dirty girl!"
Well, Newsweek has done an article on the site and selected that video as an example of what one can find on Bird Cinema. Gee, mom, aren't you proud? Your daughter's voice is in Newsweek saying, "I'm a dirty girl, I'm baaaaaad."
It's interesting to note that the article has the birder statistics wrong. But what can we expect from a publication that thought an article about a woman illegally killing a cardinal was funny.

Mwahahahahahahaha - BTW, I caught a glimpse of our Golden Eagle soaring overhead and then taking off in a dive down the cliff.
YOU GO GIRL! For the first time in months, I'll actually look forward to my Newsweek.
Nice Roberta Attenborough narration too.
Congratulations (I think)
Cool beans Birdchick!!
But, Sharon, did you notice the photo near the post with your Cooper's Hawk video on the Newsweek blog depicting disapproval on a colossal scale?

To quote my favorite blogger...whoot!

Oops. Sorry. URLs don't seem to work here. But I was able to get close to the picture I meant for everyone to see by cutting and pasting the URL that does appear here and then clicking "next" to get to photo #2.
Again, sorry. Remove these posts if you think them irritating.
Dave
LOL - you crack me up - i'm sure your mom is real proud! congrats!
A curiosity --
What does "woot" mean? Is it blogger lingo? Birder lexicon?
Congratulations! And thanks for calling my attention to that fabulous site! By the way, have you seen the "Attack" rabbit on today's Icanhascheezburger.com post?
Yes Sharon when you were just an infant my big dream was that someday you would be talking dirty for Newsweek. when you were 5yo and I caught you painting firefly tails witha magic marker to see them glow in differant colors I knew someday you would be in Newsweek or the asylum.
Love Mom
We appreciate the great blog about birdcinema.com and your excellent contribution to the site.
Thanks

Sharon's mom:
It comes with the territory. I think all of us Sharons are a combination of insanity and genius!

Congrats Sharon! Newsweek! That is impressive indeed! You had the courage to follow your passion and you are inspiration ! Namaste!
Nice job, Sharon!!
Hey, I tagged you with the 8 Random Facts meme- take a peek at BrdPics (http://brdpics.blogspot.com) to see what it's about. It's a gift that keeps on giving!! -Bill
I found Disapproving Rabbits by accident and laughed myself silly! And Dave Hardi, you'd look really disapproving too if you and your siblings were sold to the Koreans for dinner...
That's very good!
