    Birdforum, we have a problem.

    Anything I say would be a guess. However, for now, I'd cloned the hard drive while you have access. I've used EaseUS dozens of times; very easy to work with. Good Luck.

    Big Bend National Park - BBNP - BIBE

    Hiked and bird the park two weeks ago; rather early for migration but the Chisos Basin was thick with bears. Had yearlings in the Lodge parking lot trees, on the Laguna Meadows Trail and a mature bear in the trees on the Windows Trail. Been hiking that park since 2002, first time I've seen 'em.

    Madera Canyon--Santa Rita Lodge

    If you enjoy walking a trail, I would recommend walking the Madera Creek trail from Proctor Parking (just beyond the Gate House) up to Santa Rita Lodge. Madera Creek runs just behind the lodge. That might be a mile and half walk, it will seem longer cuz it's up hill. Between the Gate House and...

    Chicago Birding locations in June?

    These are two spots I frequent when visiting Cook County and the Chicago area. Orland Grassland Bartel Grasslands I enjoy huntin' down the sparrows. Bartel is really good for Bobolinks and Dickcessels; no effort to tick 'em off. Everything else is kind of a hunt; walking grass trails. It's a...

    Organizing your birding social media

    I too prefer listservs and boards; the socials are cluttered and time consuming to sort thru. That said, I'm sorry I can't help with your quest. However, if unknown to you, I'd like to bring your attention to the ABA listserv aggregator: Birding News brought to you by American Birding...

    Essential tremor and IS binoculars

    I'm in that age group and talked about ES in a couple threads on BF. There's an issue here that's over looked or avoided. ES, with age, turns into an Intention Tremor which is attached to physiological tremors which is another way of saying performance anxiety. Parkinson is way down the line...

    Missing my feathered friends

    It may help if you put up some type of a roost, away from the feeder, for the birds to land on, sit, and eyeball the feeder so they can feel safe prior to feeding. It can be something simple like a twig or dowel or anything else that will help them feel safe with their surroundings. If you...
