We are coming to an end of the second year of c/superbowl, and I think we’ve had a really good year together. We’ve covered a ton of great topics, and we’ve got a pretty good group of people commenting on a daily basis. A lot of people have been hanging around since last year, and we’re still doing well overall in the list of active communities and we’ve grown by about 50% since last year. There’s a lot of people recommending us whenever I see a “what communities are must subscribe?” list.
We have a lot of fun, we learn a lot, and I hope we feel a better connection to the world around us.
I’ll post some top whatever lists below in the comments to look at some of the things we’ve done and some of the things you may have missed.
Future Plans
Finish the overwhelmingly good book, What an Owl Knows, and make some posts from it
More posts from other countries (got some great ones started already!)
Write a good article about the City of Long Eared Owls
Find more scientific journal articles
Come up with the new Owl of the Year banners/icons
Whatever else I feel like doing!
Late-ish reply, but wow… may I ask what the book is about exactly?, as well as what is City of Long Eared Owls, haha.
No worries, anyone can always ask a question about any of my posts in this community, no matter how old!
The book is an all around exposé on everything owl and owl related. I’ve gone over a few things in posts, but when i was reading the e-version, I was highlighting too many things to keep up making posts on! The owl tracking dogs, the Blakiston’s Fish drones, the acoustic experimentation, there was just so much that I took a break and then got too distracted with other things.
It’s a really fun and easy to understand book written for normal people with a slight abnormal desire to know about owls but not so much they want a college text. I recommend it, or listening to some of the author’s podcast appearances to see if it’s something you’d be into.
For the City of Owls, I want to keep that a surprise for now until I can get a big feature about it written!
Oh dear, gosh-a-rooties, even if that’s merely hyperbole, it’s still of the best kind! ^^
Thanks for explaining. <3
It’s true, my problem with it was it was too full of good stuff it got to be overwhelming!
