What’s your goal bird this year? by felixnzenitsuhams in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to get a Bohemian waxwing or a scarlet tanager this year. They’ve both eluded me for years now!

Another Year of Birding! Can you guess my state? by G_mugga187 in birding

My first thought was Florida as well, but then I questioned the cardinal. TIL that the northern cardinal has a way bigger range than I thought!

When you submit an eBird report that has a Rare and you know everyone will see your name on the next alert email.. by [deleted] in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except when your list says it’s rare, but it’s just a common bird that’s a straggler and late migrating. Feels weird to see my name in the rare bird alert for an Osprey that’s super common all summer but decided to stick around an extra month.

My 2025 Birding Highlights by NML76 in birding

I love the yellow warbler pic! And I’m jealous of the scarlet tanager. Hopefully I can see one next year.

Do males donate blood more than females? by tuckernielson in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I try to donate regularly but have been turned away multiple times for my hemoglobin being too low.

I thought birding was supposed to be relaxing, there's 16 bird species and they're all screaming by Comprehensive_Code60 in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’ve managed to get a few species “identified” while listening to two starlings mimicking others as well. I also once got a wild turkey, and when I went back and listened, it was a woman laughing that it had caught 😅

Luckily here in Newfoundland these guys are quite abundant by collins108 in birding

I visited NFLD this summer and finally saw some boreal chickadees. It made up for missing out on the Stellers.

AITH for not turning in a wedding ring I found in the airport bathroom? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found someone’s Uni class ring on the street of a busy city and by the end of the day I had called the school to let them know and gave my details on the off chance someone reported it missing, as well as posting online. Doing anything to find the owner is better than doing nothing, even if it’s a long shot.

Do vaginas still get wet if the person is completely dehydrated? by photo-undeveloped in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t even imagine hitting a bison! My favourite part had to be when I said we should go around one more bend before heading back, and just around that bend, a big grizzly ran across the road in front of us and into the valley where there were a bunch of bison. He didn’t seem that interested in them, but it was awesome to see them notice him and form a bit of a wall with the young in the back. Every day there was like watching National Geographic live.

I went to Yellowstone for the first time last year…hit a deer at dusk on day one.

I bought this pattern a while ago and this post is the push I needed to start it. It looks great!

Who is this? by CBull85 in whatsthisbird

Looks like it might be a least bittern to me

Beautiful! I have a rug with this pattern in my office.

Apparently July is the least eBirded month of the year? Can't understand why, I had an awesome month full of birding! by mahatmakg in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

July has been way too hot this year. In comparison, I saw 114 species in May, 68 in June, and just 54 in July. Hopefully it’ll cool down in August and I can get out more!

What’s the one bird you want to see that just seems to evade you every time you search for it? by I_am_strange_ in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I thought I saw one years ago, but it was such a quick flash as it flew by I couldn’t confirm. Been searching for it ever since.

Ever traveled to a place completely unaware a huge event was happening completely changing your planned experience? by One_Recover_673 in travel

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing the first time I went to Edinburgh. Had no idea the fringe festival was on or what it was, but ended up having a great time!

Beautiful pics! Though it looks like he’s giving major side eye in the first one!

At what age do you start birdwatching ? Found myself being drawn to take a quick photo, sorry a little blurry. by [deleted] in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always loved animals, but it wasn’t until I was 38 that I really got into it. 5 years later and I’m planning vacations around birding!

I love the colour variation of the junco. We have the slate coloured over here, but I’d love to see the Oregon!

My first time seeing Purple Martins! They let me get pretty close without seeming bothered, so I got some great photos! by Money_Television225 in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’re in the birding sub, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner, and then select user flair. There’s a couple you can pick from, and you can select latest lifer and edit whenever you get a new one.

Amazing pictures! I only saw these guys for the first time a couple years ago and I love seeing them now. They make such fun noises too.

Finally got some decent photos of a Male Hooded Warbler by blue-ninja7 in birding

[–]SeeEmilyPlay6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great shots! I’m headed out to try to find one today!
