The holiday POD looks like what I saw outside my kitchen window this morning. Looks like we may actually have a winter this year in central Ohio. J

Can you steer me in the right direction? starwatcher I started it in "Current Conditions & Trip Reports". Still on the 1st page of topics, just "Birds". Another one here is fine too, if it gets a broader audience.

I started one on "birds". Hopefully it keeps going. I'm interested in seeing what others observe during their trips. Maybe broaden it to include all insects.

There are lots of very knowledgeable people here and I think I can say we're all curious about all things outdoors.

I hope the bird thread keeps going too. IIRC it was on "unusual" birds, and I don't think I've ever seen any unusual birds , or at least successfully identified them as unusual. But then I'm at the very bottom end of the "birder knowledge scale".

Topics get forgotten about if there aren't any posts for a while. Maybe we need a separate board for "animals, vegetables, minerals" where we can post non-POD pics and talk about field guides and stuff?

It might be fun. I have a lot of photos of butterflies, damselflies, dragonflies, and other insects to share, and I am sure others do too. Certainly would be educational and interesting. also birds. Will have to go looking for that bird thread.

Can you recommend a butterfly id field guide small and light enough to take on QP trips? prouboy prouboy - How about bringing a camera or sketchbook and then ID them back home. But I always bring a plant guide book along for the trip. Nice photo Lynda, my kind of rocky island; but it looks like rain. starwatcher
