NoHey!
What about dead birds?
Do you count dead birds that are found; i.e. washed upon a shore?
Will they go on your lists?
Cheers,
Fabian

I have Many-striped Canastero on my list that was in the background of a Tawny Antpitta I was recording. Only noticed it when processing the file. Saw neither 😳ticking anything retrospectively from photo's without identifying in the field - ok or absolutely, infuriatingly, completely wrong?
Sorry, Steve. Will do.Wrong forum ... see the " Dead Birds, Dead Flowers" forum. Wear your Docs.
Hey Steve,That was a joke, subtle, but a joke....and I thought you were joking... so we are all good now.
I can agree to that 100%, especially if the bird in question is best known for the calls like an Antwren or a Tinamou; and I'm pretty sure any birder out there is at least a bit disappointed if they see a Common Cuckoo or Screaming Piha and they don't do their iconic calls.Seeing is nice and I do not take it for granted, given how hard it is to see birds at all.
But I'm always somewhat disappointed when I see a new life bird but it is silent.
For that is to miss 50% of what that bird has to offer.
