  3. By far the best ever Storm-Petrel shots I've ever gotten!!! As anyone who has done pelagic photography knows, Storm-Petrels are the hardest species out there to photograph well! Super stoked to have gotten such good shots! ML608777436 Ashy Storm-Petrel Macaulay Library ML608777435 Ashy Storm-Petrel Macaulay Library

  6. I thought I had messed up my chance at a good Baird's Sandpiper shot the other day, but I looked through the photos and found one that isn't too bad. Regardless my best ever views of the species! ML606875081 Baird's Sandpiper Macaulay Library

  15. This has been an amazing experience. Let me be the first to congratulate @Skipickos on this amazing find! I dream of finding something like this, but I don't think I ever will! Rare birds really can show up anywhere and at any time. That is part of why I love birding so much. And again, Congrats @Skipickos! This is the find of a lifetime!

  17. I was afraid of that, still only two Semipalmated ever seen in this county, so good birds none the less. County bird 232! Bumps me up to 1st place on the "top 100 eBirders" for the county.

  20. One from back home. It took a while for me to figure out what species it was, at first in the field I thought it was an ordinary buzzard. However, several apps and algorithms had problems with identifying this bird. Eventually someone noted the shape of the nostril; which is apparently distinct for the European Honey-buzzard. Even though this is "just" a joung bird, I am still happy with my first sighting of this species! 🙂 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608927989

  26. Thanks! I have spent hours looking for warblers without any success and then I was standing in the garden and there it was, in the blackberries. I was in shock for a moment. Sat and watched it for some time, I got within 2 feet of it, or rather it got within two feet of me. It was very unconcerned about my presence.

  27. I'm clearly slacking on getting shots into eBird, cause I'm sure I have more than the 2 that are in there now.

  35. Hey everyone, pushed a couple of changes to the game today: The bird list has been completely overhauled! I'd like to apologize for the issues that you guys encountered with the old list, it was dated and I had been using it without reviewing it much at all. Want to give a huge shoutout to someone named Brandon for curating and emailing me an updated list, which cut out a little over 150 of the original listed species, and renamed a bunch to keep them up to date. There are still a couple of 'incorrect' ones in there because I had to support the archived games for now. Because this is sort of a 'big' update, I'm aware there might be flaws, so I'd appreciate it if you'd DM me if/when you find any issues with the new list, I'll fix them right away. I also added a small feature that will link the revealed correct answer to the allaboutbirds page for the bird, thanks to Kelly for the idea. Again, thanks for playing.
