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?
