IKLland Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 @Aidan Bi just came across this photo of yours on ebird. You don’t have to, but it would make a great profile photo for whatbird! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/399744081?_gl=1*qpa4q1*_ga*MTk1NTMxODc5My4xNTkyODczOTY3*_ga_QR4NVXZ8BM*MTY0Njg0MTcyMy41NTAuMS4xNjQ2ODQ0ODc3LjI2#_ga=2.28397048.530343446.1645118909-1955318793.1592873967 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled up some feeders and placed them strategically, now I’ve got a few siskins and redpolls visiting them. Cant wait to share some photos with y’all! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I just got back from Lubbock, such a pretty place, nice big trees, swampy almost every where....Some of you will find that funny, but for the rest of you who don't know, west Texas is dry, windy, and flat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you! Lubbock is nice. (No, I haven't been there but I'm a geography nerd so I know quite a bit about seemingly random towns and cities in the US.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m terrible at it, though I can usually get the country or close to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I stopped playing it. I didn't want Yet Another Account. One of my favorite moments from when I was playing, was landing in front of a county boundary sign at the start of a bridge that I knew was in Virginia. The only question was which road was crossing the Shenandoah River. I quickly figured it out, and my position guess was only about 2 feet off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirVive Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I got one with a sign that said Hyde Park, this should be easy - apparently there is one in Australia also. About as far from NY as you can get ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I just assume at this point that Google already tracks all my activity so just use my account to log into all this stuff. They already know more about me than I do. This isn't really something that can be fixed on the individual level, and ultimately needs regulators to step in to fix it imo.

Birding Boy Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 This is about half an hour away from me, and it was seen again today, I’m going to stake it out late tomorrow morning! Really really hoping it shows up ? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really really hoping it shows up ? Well...dipped painfully. Spent a couple hours there, half an hour after I left it showed up again and remained for the rest of the afternoon. Oof, might be able to go out on Thursday but I doubt it will stick until then. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding, especially if its in a place were there's a bunch of birds already...but yeah I understand, it can feel like a chore, especially if you dip or its not likely that it will be around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
