I don’t even have a Facebook account, so I can’t move. And eBird doesn’t work for my daily bike rides because they want only 5 miles at a time, and I don’t even record my birds until I get home.. So Larry, you’re stuck with me.

As for behavior, I see some changes happening. Yesterday, the Merlin who hung out at Esther Simplot last winter returned. And the day before, a raft of 7 Ruddy Ducks showed up at Silver Lake, but they were one day wonders. Some days I have a hard time getting my Minimum Daily Allowance of 20, and other days I exceed my Recommended Daily Allowance of 30.

I understand this is a state listserv for chasing year birds

most state list servs are such and such

what I wish is that we could discuss more of behaviors

we enter eBird lists

and if a rarity shows up, we chase

c’mon

there’s more than this

eh?

why oh why are we like every other state list serv??

can’t we be a bit different?

more like the AZ-NM list

above that fray of chasing????????

is any one left, not all moved to FB??
