Tanager 101 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thanks! I am happy to represent our state on this thread and so happy to be here. Quote ?Completely randomly ran into him Well......sort of..........I loved looking at his photos on ebird and would kind of stalk him to see if he added any new ones all the time. At the event the people in charge had a list of names and who was riding in each car. I saw his name on the list and had to find out if it was him because I new he lived in the area. So we ended up having a conversation and I *casually* said I had another birding friend. He was like "wait, you're into birds too?" (And then we talked about birds for the rest of the day)?so yep random. ? Actually I never really told this to him. I only said a bit of it. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulK Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Welcome @Tanager 101! Good luck figuring out who the actual young birders are on this thread and which of us are just young at heart. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few degrees warmer than yesterdays low of -21C / -6F.....Brrrr.... No new snow yet and not really much on the ground but more is on the way. I took the first cell phone photo from the open front door yesterday morning. Notice that there was very little snow on the ground, not even covering the grass or plowed field on either side of the driveway...The second photo was taken from the open back door just after 9am this morning while the snow is still coming down pretty good. I know we aren't getting it as bad as some others, so I hope everyone stays safe and warm.

lonestranger Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Welcome to WhatBird @Tanager 101. I'm one of the older ones that @PaulK so kindly referred to as "young at heart" (Some might say creepy old people ?) who occasionally gets drawn into the young birder's discussions. ? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a drift in their driveway up to the windows on one side of their car. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems someone up there let the weather out, so if y'all don't mind sending someone to get it please? Now it's not looking good for this coming Thursday and Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulK Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 After all the weather conversations on this thread you may have noticed that all us Canadians are able to understand your weird temperature scale in addition to Celsius. Found a great example of why today when shopping: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
