    Summer Drought and Fall Migration

    A large part of New Jersey has had an abnormally dry summer. The drought is not particularly alarming for humans here - yet - as there was abundant rainfall all last year through spring. But plants are under stress. Many trees are dropping leaves. And it seems to me that insect noise and...

    Avibase and Ebird

    My apologies if there are past discussions on this subject - I did a short search and couldn't find any. I am trying to understand the similarities and differences between ebird and avibase. I had thought they were possibly competitors for the same user, but they do appear to have some sort of...

    Hello from New Jersey

    Hello! I am a big fan of the bulletin board format and its comprehensiveness. I've been a member for a while, but finally have time to post here. I am looking forward to sharing my birding and reading about yours! What I love about birding is that there is always more to learn, and one is...
