Hello everyone....I was told by Heidi and Eb a while back to come in here....so after a legnthy registration process, here I am. I'm from Peoria, Arizona (I am...
Hey TBCers, Whether I'm just dull or what, but is it just me or has no one posted in a while? I'm just wondering has anyone seen anything good lately? There...
I just saw walking home from school today a family group of Harris' Hawks. Despite being in Arizona, where they're supposedly they're "dirt common" I don't see...
Has anyone seen anything good lately? Well last weekend was great. I led a field trip for a local Audubon chapter up to LBJ National Grasslands, in North...

Hey all, I don't know much about this tern yet (a cross-post from someone who's seen it would be nice...), but I plan on going to Galveston tomorrow morning to...
It's November in Cape May, and that means one thing--RARITIES-- Birds that have appeared here at this time of year have included Brown-chested Martin (2nd...
Hey y'all, As some of you know, I broke my leg playing flag football on Sunday (snapped my tibia and fibula like twigs). Let me tell you how much that screwed...
'Twas a lovely day to band birds at the Hassayampa River Preserve, near Wickenburg, Arizona today. The weather was unseasonably warm, hith highs in the...
All; A friend of mine who is a new birder (4 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 28 minutes & 19 seconds, as he says) is looking for online recording(s) of American pipit...
I haven't posted in a veeery long time. I guess it's because this fall hasn't been very active, I didn't move far away from my bed lately. I nevertheless saw...

Hey ppl! Saturday was a good day, but I missed the tern by ~2.5 hours... ergh. Sunday was shot, Monday was school (*copius grumbling*), and today was an early...
I think the gull is a pure Laughing Gull, just with aberrantly-colored bare parts. Structually and plumage-wise, the bird is perfect for Laughing in my mind. ...
Sorry guys. I forgot to post my age after the gull comment. Michael L. P. Retter - 21 Illinois Wesleyan University Bloomington, McLean Co, IL mretter@... ...
I also vote for pure Laughing Gull. I've seen photos of Laughing Gulls with red bill and legs (in Birding magazine recently), although I think they were more...

Hey guys, just wondering when everyone starts their winter list. I wouldn't mind starting mine now, as I just got about a dozen Common Redpolls in my birch...

I too would like to add redpolls I've seen recently to my winter list, but I think last year, we started the lists on Dec. 1, and they ran to the end of...
Emily and everyone, The Winter List period starts on December 1st and runs until the end of December. Last years "competition" was great, with birders from the...
Last year's winter list ran through the end of February didn't it? I think it may have even run until the last day of winter, in March..... But certainly it...
Personally, I start my winter list on December 1, and end the list on February 28/29. If anyone's up for it, let's try a listing comp. again this winter....
Hey everyone, I had a "blond" moment when I said the winter list goes from December 1st to December 31st. It goes from December 1st to February 28/29th. Silly...
I think everyone should start on Demeber 1st and rack up species through the end of February. I say we divide up Canada in two (we don't have very many members...

Olivier, I agree that BC birders have a bit of an advantage against other birders in Canada, however, even in BC there are huge differences between regions. BC...
Greetings! My name is Markael (Mark) Luterra, and I am from south of Renville, Minnesota. If this rings a bell in your head, you are a) from Minnesota or b)...
If you all want to track and compare your winter lists on a rankings table on the internet, we'll create one specifically for TBC at Surfbirds. Let me know. ...
That sounds like a cool idea to me; I know several TBC members have their year/life list rankings on Surfbirds, and this would be a cool feature. Tom Reed, 13 ...
Hey! I agree with Tom. I think it is a great idea. Its would be nice to track our lists with other people's for the winter, rather than just waiting until...
Great, let us know if you want a ranking for each region (if so, let us know how you'd like to fairly divide it up) or just one universal ranking for everyone....
I think either ranking system would work; I am probably more in favor of one universal ranking. BTW, 2 Common Redpolls, 3 Evening Grosbeaks, and 12 Red ...
