John I’m visiting for the Pygmy NH, what part of yard is it feeding at?

Hello!

I also can’t find an option to download all of the United States packs at once for eBird mobile. I’m guessing they have it set up that way so that you just have the individual packs available for whatever state you are currently in. You wouldn’t want to be in Idaho and have all ~1,000 possible species in the U.S. show up on your expected list in eBird! 😀  Thankfully, we only have a few hundred species that show up on the Idaho bird pack. 😀

I’m sorry that isn’t more helpful, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to download the whole U.S.; you just have to download each state before you visit it. 🙁

I’m glad you asked this question, because it prompted me to download the state packs for each state that I will be going through on an upcoming road trip! 😀

Have a great week! 😀

The sharpie stalking our feeders was even bolder. Sat on our fence looking about like, “where did all the little birdies go?”

2″ new snow since daybreak & still coming down. My platform feeder wasn’t getting any visitors & presumed it was due to snow cover. Went out, brushed it off & refilled with black-oil sunflower seeds &, still, no visitors. Scanned the area trees & found the culprit. The Sharp-shinned Hawk is back, perched about 15′ up, 30 yards away. 

Even the Black-capped Chickadees are being wary today! Giving their alert calls, but not making many flights in for seeds. Wonder if the Sharpy was successful at taking one of their buddies recently? Anyway, the hawk has patience, may stick around for an hour or more. No House Finches, American Goldfinches or Juncos in sight.

Red Winged Blackbirds showed up today, so feeders will go down even faster. Some sort of willowy calling shore bird down in marsh. Haven’t managed to see it.
