He used to be a top member back before I went offline for a while. Too bad @Tony Leukering isn't here anymore... No they aren't here anymore, neither is @Bird Brain, another one I miss is @akileyI really liked her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully, is this offer strictly for Young Birders as defined by ABA, etc., or is it open regardless of chronological age? Whether I qualify or not, thanks for looking out for Whatbird members!

Whether I qualify or not, thanks for looking out for Whatbird members! It's open to anyone who cannot reasonably pay the subscription cost. For young birders payment is optional, but for financially stable adults, I do expect a small imbursement to mitigate the overall cost of the subscription. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 @Kevin just realized this. Your county doesn’t even go up to 100 for the top 100 birders! BTW, try and be first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, just 4 people are tied at the 97 spot, so the next person below would be rank 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First is a hard place to get, especially being that there are so few birders here that "chasing" a bird is nearly out of the question. You have to find it yourself, none of that just going to see what someone else found, I get that there is not as much competition, but it is still hard having to find every rare bird yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it. It's very hard to even get into the top 100 for my county! I'm gonna need to get my county list to at least 310 to get there, probably not going to happen for a few years.

Jefferson Shank Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's @Jefferson Shank's turn! Getting to to some birding for your birthday maybe? Actually I have to work today, like all other days. I did get out to photograph an Eastern Screech-Owl on Saturday though. Bought a DJI Air 2s fly more combo today! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Shank Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Yeah, I should have explained better. It's a camera drone with a 1" sensor that takes video up to 5.4K. I'd like to use it down in the Amazon this year, to get some cool shots from above. Here's some videos taken by this drone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRmwjIgBAfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXgv3kxV4VE Edited March 8 by Jefferson Shank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved my times spent on the Amazon. Where are you planning on going? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 We have an Amazon warehouse here. There are several hundred acres of fallow fields nearby, and some retention ponds. It's a good spot to check a couple of times a year but I certainly wouldn't buy a drone and come here just for that. What? A river? You're kidding. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often have other things to do that are a higher priority too, thus leading to me being offline for a while. ps. Happy Birthday! @Birding Boy ??? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
