One of the biggest reasons I haven't got into birding as much is because I've focused so much energy on violin I do love playing the violin. Maybe Seanbirds has told you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I succeeded in asking my parents, so I will be going to a birding hotspot sometime in the next two weeks. Yay! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Screech Owls common in New York? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to miss seeing a breeding family of Wilson’s Phalaropes because it was a 55 minute drive ? And there aren’t any good places within a short biking distance. How old do you have to be to start driving in Kansas? I feel it too. Luckily, they take me a lot of places on the weekends, however. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's great. For me I usually end up getting rides with other friends and birders most of the time. If you look at most of my real checklists where I'm actually out birding in California, you'll see I'm with other people.

Screech-owl that we found. I remember seeing it but it was before I was a birder so I didn't pay attention to sp. It is a lifer for me. you should come down here like 10 years ago:) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Well, this evening took a sour turn. Went to look for my favorite Ridgway’s Rail recording on eBird so I could archive it, and found it was deleted. May we have three seconds of silence. Aye yo baby ridgways...salutes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some semi-bad language (Which kinda makes it funny) so it can’t be directly posted here. But if it is re-uploaded somehow I’ll link it in my profile so it can be enjoyed by all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
