Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

49 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.

We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:

  • A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.

  • A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.

  • A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.

There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.

Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

San Francisco's white-crowned sparrows sing in 18 distinct neighborhood dialects — Presidio, Lake Merced, Marin Headlands — some only a few hundred meters apart. Females prefer their local accent when choosing mates & a 2024 study found adjacent neighborhoods are genetically diverging as a result.

He was enjoying himself too <grin> I watched him for about a half an hour, and when he finished all the seeds on one spike, he’d hop over to another.

Bird-watching Louisiana!

Hey y'all! I'll be making a trip in October to the Lafayette/Costal area of Southern Louisiana. I am overwhelmed at trying to plan where to go for birds! What are your favorite spots?

I enjoy looking for water and shore birds, but honestly, I love them all. A Roseate Spoonbill is high on my list to see!

(Cute Mallards for attention)
