I used to identify as a herper, because I loved snakes, and I didn’t have any amazing resources like iNaturalist to help me identify other taxa. I even became an ornithological technician because there was more funding for bird work than for any other taxa. 20 years later, this is still true — bir…

[image] jnstuart: the relatively low amount of effort to find and photo birds. Coming from insect-observation, I kind of disagree with that. Getting good photos of birds is still very difficult (or rather expensive), even if it may be easier than mammals or herps. For insect photography, on t…

Yes, you do need the camera gear if you want to photo birds. I’ve invested in that as I enjoy photography. But if you’re not into photoing you can still easily enjoy bird observation with minimal equipment.

Yes two birds guard me always. One in my DP, other with my profile name. A ‘photographer’ thinks that taking a ‘picture’ is the most difficult task. An artist thinks that taking a picture is the easiest task. A click only. I have traveled over 1500 km (each time) for ten or twelve times but could…

When I walk along the streets of my city, I hear the calls of crows, Starlings and and… Our National Bird is Peacock …
