Nice scenery. I too have doubts when it comes to ebird reports. I come up with grand plans to head out early but when the time comes, I crack an eyelid open and change my mind. It's brisk out there.
Thanks! Yes, unless I start seeing photos (even cell phone pics would do) attached along with the sightings, I take them all with a very big grain of salt.
With ebird, you do have to be very careful because birder will spot a bird from a 1000 miles away using a scope. Then you show up with a 100-500 lens and wonder why you don’t see that bird. So, yes, don’t trust those reports unless the come with pics that show good detail.
Too funny, dude! Enjoyed it, especially the camera drop!
Thanks, I think I’m funnier than I am sometimes. That’s what my wife says anyhow. 🤔
