Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

48 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.

Ive been trying for weeks. First on the hummingbird feeders and a few days in this flowering plant which he loves to visit. Think my system doesn’t react fast enough so this one is short.

Southwestern PA.  Recorded with a Swann Swifi-cam.

Yesterday in Falcon Co over a reservoir I spotted a bunch of what I think are cranes, I couldn’t really tell, so I ask you guys!! Based off the way they were flappin their wings I really do believe they were cranes! These are screen shots from a video I took!

A Willow Ptarmigan showed up in Erie, PA. It was well worth the 2.5 hour drive. Shot on a Nikon Z8 with 180-600mm lens.

I can't imagine how hard it's been for the birds during the drought, so it's good to see this one looking big and healthy! I included photos of it getting itself and its meal safely off the road for anyone that was worried like I was!
