"I do not enjoy watching birds in a crowd and from roadsides" - yep, I'm there too. It can be fun, a great big party, so it's good to do once in a while - but what I like best about being in nature is just choosing someplace to go to and looking around to find what's there. Nice on the Kittiwake!

Thanks for this story, great comparison. I generally agree but have just photographed a rare-to- Wisconsin Varied Thrush only because of eBird. Have read a lot about birders stressing bald eagles and Snowy Owls in an effort to get "the shot." Live in a rural county so no Mt. Everest scene. Finally I have a favorite summer visitor to Lake Michigan, the Caspian Tern. No -show last summer due to bird flu!
