Briefly Noted

June Mystery Bird
Black Skimmer | Photo by Bill StriplingCongratulations to Stanley J. of Washougal, WA, whose entry was randomly chosen from the 160 entries that correctly identified last month's Black Skimmer (at right). Good luck with this month's challenge (below)! HINT: Money raised through this year's Pennies for the Planet campaign will fund habitat restoration at Panther Island, home to this species. The winner will receive a plush Audubon singing bird and will be chosen at random from all entries received that correctly identify the species (NAS employees can play but not win). One entry per person please! Please email us your entry, being sure the words "Mystery Bird" appear in the subject line. Deadline for entering is Sunday, July 11.
