Recognition & Awards for
Audubon on the Net


 
 

Audubon's web sites are popular -- following are some awards / compliments / recognition we've received.
 
National Audubon Society has been included in Schoolzone's list of educationally useful sites by our panel of 400 expert teachers.  This is in recognition of the fact that it is useful as teaching and learning resource.
WildThings.com WildThings.com has selected us as a charter Destination site.
NAS received the WEB FEET Seal of Approval from Rock Hill Communications and will appear in WEB FEET: Monthly Subject Guide to the Best Web Sites.  WEB FEET is a premier subject guide to the best Web sites for students, researchers, and the general public and is the first comprehensive Web guide that is interactive and updated monthly.
Hersh Web Site ObserverThe Hersh Web Site Observer is supposed to be posting a review of the WatchList site in early '98 . I don't think it's up yet, but their search engine's broken, so we might be up already.
TopTenLinks TopTenLinks gives awards to 10 sites in various categories: We were in their "Lifestlye: Environmentalist" category, and are now in their "Top Ten Bird Watching Sites" category.
CNN's Site Seer CNN Interactive (part of Science / Technology) likes us: 
Migrations have also begun, bringing flashes of colored feathers out of their summer ranges and into the southern autumn warmth. You can follow them with the National Audubon Society, a birdwatcher's must providing handy migration guides, tips, and environmental information.
outstanding education-related site on the Web The Education Index's editors "select sites which offer interesting, well organized, reliable information to busy people looking for the best sources in any of our 55 subject and 11 lifestage categories".
rockin' site of the week WebTrips organizes tours of the web; we're a "rockin' site of the week", on their tour for the week of July 29th, 1997. Warning: This site requires Netscape Navigator 3 (or possibly Communicator release) and Macromedia's Shockwave, and either Java or JavaScript, and their requirements listing isn't current; also, I was unable to find the tour.

Update 01/20/98: We're apparently re-featured (Site of the Week for their Birds category), but their site doesn't work with Navigator 4.03.1/PPC, so I haven't seen our listing.

Most Informative site of the week Danvic Publications produces several "Insider" Guides; we're their Most Informative site of the week for March 31, 1997.
2 Hot 2 Handle Site of the Day The CyberMom Dot Com is a collection of educational resources; we're their 2 Hot 2 Handle Site of the Day for March 20, 1997.
Digital Dozen Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC) is a collection of educational resources; we're in their Digital Dozen for March 1997.
We're featured in 300 Incredible Things for Pet Lovers on the Internet.
Our web site has been selected as one of the Net's finest informative and is included in StudyWeb® 's listing of educational links.
WildBird magazine has started a new column about birding on the Web. For
our premier column, we mention your site and show a picture of it.

Thanks,

A good friend of mine told me to take a look at this site (Hi Minnie!) and I'm impressed. I'm sure this took a lot of work to get off the ground. Myself and some of my friends here at U.C. Davis are really interested, we're not kids, but this is a fun site!

Congratulations on getting this project rolling.

Just to let you know your work for gathering all this information is well appreciated! I'm a student in the Wildlife and Fisheries Science Program at the University of Arizona, and am presently enrolled in an avian management class. After hearing about this project, I've decided to keep close tabs on the migration of at least some of the migrating snow geese and incorporate it into my own research project on geese migration for this class. Keep up the good work!!!
-- Michael J. Terrio
This is a very impressive site. Nearly as much fun as viewing wild geese in Holland. It would be wonderful to follow some our geese to Russia or Spitzbergen.
