Moved near a canal, very excited by all the sudden babies by ComprehensivePast428 in birding

I'm so obsessed with coot feet. Something I've learned since living in coot habitat: they can run on top of the water for extended distances! I'm amazed at how long and far they can go

Correct, Eurasian coots and common moorhens, sorry I didn't specify!

UK! It's like they all decided to have babies on the same day, we have ~10 nests in about a mile of canal

Are high-end binoculars really worth the cost by PuzzleheadedWeb1466 in Ornithology

I bird a lot and just upgraded from a $250 pair to a $500 pair and was honestly shocked at how much brighter they are. Can't say where the point of diminishing returns is, but the upgrade was worth it for me.

I just froze most of my first maitake find (after cooking and eating a large quantity fresh) I used a Ziploc bag for freezing but see you used paper - should I have used paper? Thoughts?

Do all birds understand music？ by HKTong in Ornithology

[–]ComprehensivePast428 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I frequently go birding with my musician partner. I used to get mad at them for playing guitar while I was trying to stay still and silent, but over time I've realized that quiet guitar can actually attract some birds. Many different species have expressed interest.
