When I was birding (not that I was ever hardcore... too much trouble getting up early, for one thing) I really only kept a national list and a life list. My general impression is that the British are more dedicated tickers but I'm not sure if that is actually true. I don't recall hearing about others' town/county/mid-range lists, but I did hear about a lot of people keeping yard lists. I can see why, though--I am still pleased about seeing a pileated woodpecker *and* a black-and-white warbler in one day, purely by accident, in my little suburban yard.<br /><br />I really enjoy seeing uncommon/rare birds only if I have found them. If someone else has found them, it is interesting, but there's no sense of achievement.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440658754416289147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-32638198490095282122010-01-08T19:45:03.661+00:002010-01-08T19:45:03.661+00:00Hmm, I have the same problem.

I like the way it looks as if they are walking off the edge of the screen, though! <br /><br />I have a special affinity for larks, as that (well, singular) is my daughter's name.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440658754416289147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-84497851710704876272010-01-08T18:32:29.612+00:002010-01-08T18:32:29.612+00:00Invert the image?!
