Nighthawk01 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I just realized something. I took a break from Whatbird for a while, and I didn’t really think about birding as much, but now that I’ve become more active, I’ve found that I’ve only come to love birds more and more. I love this website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patbirddude Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Had a funny moment today. In a matter of ten minutes four different species of woodpecker landed on one perch. Almost as if they were taking turns. Now I want to make this perch a patch just to see what else I can get on it.

MerMaeve Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sorry I've been so inactive on here lately. We've had a whirlwind of things going on lately, including..........Drum roll please.............................our family grew by one! My oldest sister got married this last Sat. (the 13th). It was a gorgeous wedding - I was a jr. Bridesmaid (I cried more than I am willing to admit......) - Yes, to answer your unasked question, I love her new husband. He is a great guy, they clearly love each other. He jokes around a lot too and he also teases me a lot but it is a loving teasing not meant to hurt. (like my brothers do sometimes ?) A shot the photographer took of the bride and groom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melierax Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I've had a Red-breasted Sapsucker and a Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker in my yard within the past two weeks . The Sapsucker was 400 miles away from normal range and was a first county record, and the Flicker is a long ways away and a 3rd county record https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S49251110 https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S49056867 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean C Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I had an interesting morning: I was photographing birds in my yard when a cop pulls up and asks me what I'm doing. I said I was Birdwatching, and she said someone called and said I was taking photographs of them (). I was able to prove that I wasn't by showing her the Bird pictures on my camera. Nothing happened, but I've never been stopped by a cop before. Edited November 1, 2018 by Sean C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melierax Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hey y'all, how about we make this a bit more lively! Drew (crazed4birds) had a year bird competition before the crash, so maybe we could restart that! If everyone's on board, I'll ask every week for everyone's yearlists and post an updated leaderboard. (Btw if the older folks want to chime in, that would be great - I don't think we have enough young birders to make it work) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazed4birds Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm pretty sure it wasn't me who ran it (granted that was like a year ago so I might be tripping). Also, YB Discord has one that I kind of run, lowkey not an attempt to get yall on there : p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
