Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

52 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.

PS: I didn’t feed it anything, but they clearly came begging for some, as these were the largest coots I’ve ever seen!

I got concerned when my photo of the Chiff chaff family was claimed as AI, by an AI model. Only right that a share a snippet from that moment.

Hope you enjoy

Video birdwatching vlog/documentary

3 Upvotes

Not sure I can share, just saw a fun vlog/documentary on YouTube about two brothers from France traveling across Western Canada and the US for two months to go birdwatching—6,000 miles, 150 species spotted, 60 days of travel; Alberta, Washington, Oregon, California... It’s in French, but there are automatic subtitles. "Le bout de ma rue et l'Oregon - Voyage ornithologique" on YT - cheers
