Christmas break is over, and I lazed it away, hiding out indoors in the mornings and evenings, doing some afternoon birding, not messing with my blog. Yes, I'm a bum. No, I'm not proud of it.
But, last week, my boss/mentor at The Eyrie, Jennie Duberstein, sent me the information about a scholarship to attend a bird festival in Alaska. Naturally, I had to apply. I'm nearly done with the application and I'm so excited!
The scholarship is offered through the Tim Schantz Memorial Foundation and is to attend the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival, in Homer, Alaska.
Once I submit the application, it's just waiting for the results, hoping I'm the winner. I'm crossing fingers, toes, and everything else crossable.
For the blog, though, I have plans to publish an essay I wrote for the 2012 Young Birder of the Year Contest...it's long enough for two posts. Plus, you never know what else I might have up my sleeve ;)
Happy birding,
Alexandria
