I am writing to let birding enthusiasts know that MapMuse.com has
added nationwide maps of Birding Clubs, and Birding Hotspots to its
services. The Birding Clubs map has over 250 clubs located already, but
can be added to, and enhanced by visitors. The Birding Hotspots Map has
just been added today at the request of a MapMuse visitor. We have not
attempted to populate this map ourselves, but have provided the
structure for birders to identify and add their favorite hotspots.
Following are links to the pages for the birding topics:
Birding Clubs-
http://find.mapmuse.com/re1/interest.php?brandID=BIRDING_CLUBS
Birding Hotspots-
http://find.mapmuse.com/re1/interest.php?brandID=BIRDING_HOTSPOTS
The idea is for birders to build upon what we have started by adding
information about their clubs, and their favorite hotspots. Through
this kind of community effort, we hope to have the most comprehensive,
and descriptive maps for birders to use at home, and on their travels.
Please note that descriptive information, as well as photos can be
added directly to the profiles by our visitors. There is an ADD and
EDIT feature on the site (you can refer to
http://find.mapmuse.com/re1/mmFAQ.htm#A4 if you have questions about
making changes).
If you find our maps useful, we would appreciate it if you would pass
the word on to like-minded friends. And if you have a birding related
website, a birding related blog or newsletter, a mention or a link
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
