Erika and I are just back from a month-long road-trip to Seattle to meet a new Granddaughter. Somehow I convinced Erika that southern Texas and California were along our route. In a normal, snowy winter this itinerary may have made some sense. We had a good time, nevertheless, and did a lot of birding.
In the process, I put the new Birdseye Bird Log phone software through its paces. We often found that we missed birds if we were too busy entering records into our phone. Thus we often found ourselves using the app to establish our exact location. Later we entered empty lists to eBird and filled them in with our computer later the same evening. However, the beauty of eBird is the ability to find birds for one's life list! In San Diego we easily found California Thrashers, California Gnatcatchers, and Wrentits. In Washington we photographed Rock Sandpipers. Over the next few weeks, I will post our adventures on my blog, http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com , which you are welcome to visit. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika [email protected] ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
