I'll see if I can find them, though I didn't keep a record of them. National Geographic was one culprit I remember.

Well, sure, National Geographic is a "US site". Can't argue with that. But it's not even remotely dedicated to science in any form.

Hmm, so presumably those of us with subscriptions to HBW Alive will still be able to access until the sub runs out? I'm also very unclear on what is going to happen to the IBC, does it get lumped into eBird somehow or exist as a separate entity?

Not birds, but here's one from NASA:
Why can't they just say 1,000 metres? That's obviously what it is - yet they don't even mention any scientific units.

Like White-headed Duck, it risks becoming extinct through introgression from invasive related species o

you're joking surely
your link is to IGN - "an American video game and entertainment media website"
hard to think of a less scientific output...
EDIT: here's the official NASA output on this object
https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/
"Estimated Diameter 440m - 990m"
put that flag-burning on hold,
cheers,

You actually have these visible rather than blocked by an appropriate browser plugin?
Obviously even without ad's it should have been obvious to the OP that it wasn't a NASA site!

Nicely said! I still seeing nothing beneficial out of this.

Thanks Niels, a great shame this merger happened, I will miss using My Birding and used to enjoy contributing to IBC, I guess we have to wait and see how it goes

All blocked by my Firefox adblocker :t: - no, it wasn't obvious that it might be anything other than a mirror (exact copy) of the NASA site itself, even if the URL wasn't NASA.

Another joke hopefully. If you’re unaware of the difference between official comms by scientific organisations and third hand write-ups on trashy clickbait news sites maybe you should give up on your quest for US scientists imposing imperial measures on the world.

Also time to change your avatar Nutty, too late to stop what is already done.
Has Brexit affected the value of the Northumberland Shekel yet, as predicted?
In my experience IBC was rife with photos of mis-identified birds, and having photos in two places meant more work if you were looking for photos of a species. I've been reviewing thousands of eBird/MacCaulay Library photos recently, and have only found two mis-ID's so far. And it is easy to report them. Also, eBird provides more context for the photos since they are submitted with a list. And the filtering options for photos are robust and easy to use: you can filter by location, time of year, age, and sex with a few clicks. So I'm seeing a lot of upsides to this.
