We should have switched letters on Friday. Looks like the letter S is going to have a short week.

That's better than losing track of which vehicle your binoculars were in.

<Anhinga> was my second guess, I didn't get to <Double-crested> until my fifth guess, then I checked my guide before making my last guess.

+1 for Buteo sp. 😉

One short of a sequential countdown.

It's listed in my North American field guides, which is my basic criteria for calling NA birds.

I believe so. I've recently noticed a list of acceptable file types in the bottom of the message window that I dont recall seeing until the recent upgrades. Wav files are not on the list but I'm pretty sure I've clicked on a few wav files in the past.

Your farts sound like birds singing? Are you going to try to convince us that they smell like roses too?

Yeah, I suppose there's a flaw in my thinking that if it's not in the North American field guides, it's not a North American bird.

I'd agree with you but I've already wasted my share of time on eBird ratings. 😄

Regrettably, I think too many people feel the need to manipulate the rating system to reflect what they think the rating should be. I have read posts in other threads where up-rating and down-rating are discussed for reasons other than the those covered in the rating guidelines, so I know it happens. Due to individual interpretation of the guidelines, and the fact that they're called guidelines, I think you'll find different opinions on when, and how, to apply those guidelines. So don't expect everyone to be on the same page when it comes to rating photos.
