Which Birding Software Do You Use? [ September 1st, 2010 ] Posted in » Birding Software, Blog

Birding Software Is About Features

Most serious birders have their favorite birding software. The reasons are many but usually come down to which features each birder considers important to them. Some want a handy smartphone app that they know they’ll have with them and others want a more complete birding reference that goes beyond quick identification. Still others use a combination depending on where they are going to be. Where do you lie on this continuum?

Help! I Have A Chicken In My Backyard

Am I Seeing Things?

About four days ago, when things turned bitter cold here in Nashville, I was surveying my backyard to see how my feeder levels were doing. Then, I saw it. At the top of my back fence was a hen staring longingly at the corn cob I had put up for my squirrel friends. At first I thought it must be some kind of grouse or fowl but I soon realized this was not the case. I had a chicken in my backyard that I have no idea where it came from. It appears healthy and it apparently goes somewhere after the corn dries up. As we do not live in a rural area, finding the owner may be a bit of task.
