I'm new here and here is my 2 cents worth. I like using the likes button to show I enjoyed the pic/post or a reply. I'm sure most of us do. The reputation thing seems like a competition of who can get the most likes. Could be a little intimidating to new birders and members. No, it does not bother me personally. It also sounds like a description of a person's character which I know that's not what it is here. Who came up with that idea/title? The likes thing is good. Shows someone saw my post and lets others know I saw theirs. The reputation thing needs to be changed or gotten rid of though don't think that's possible. Perhaps a new name for it? Maybe something to do with a level like I have seen on other sites. 30 is a lot of likes unless you are on FB. Ha! I think the time should reset earlier than 24 hours. There's a lot of awesome birders here that help so many people. Ok, that's my thoughts. I'll stop before I get my wind back. Ha!

It takes a lot of patience and breath-holding 😛 It's taken me forever to get out of the habit of kinda talking over the microphone so it sounds like some creep whispering lmho
Thanks! 🙂I was sitting on a rock pile where I know he hangs out. He eventually poked his head out. I was probably about 10-20 ft away but I'm bad at estimating distances.
This looks like a Carolina to me. The Carolinas in that area are brighter than most, and in January they'll be in fairly fresh (therefore brighter) plumage than in the summer. The nape, the limited extent of the white on the coverts, and the neat corners to the bib all suggest Carolina.
