There should be a new term for this sort of thing though...maybe "couch birding?"<br /><br />Couch birding isn't quite as fun as the real thing, but hey sprinkle a little on the side and you still find some new species I guess!Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-40182859924256532852012-02-16T06:52:24.829-07:002012-02-16T06:52:24.829-07:00Woohoo!

Nothing like a little review, even if it makes you cringe most of the time, like reading old essays or letters and wondering, "What was I thinking!?"<br />It worked out a little better here though, at least in terms of finding something cool.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-42781196443260607812012-02-16T06:44:49.730-07:002012-02-16T06:44:49.730-07:00Bet you're glad you took the time to peruse yo...Bet you're glad you took the time to peruse your picture file!!

Some of the identifications we made were impressively bad and we've had to adjust our lists accordingly. Usually it only changed one new species into another, though, not gaining a new tick retroactively. Nice find!Nicholas Martenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430793036041198643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-63561362468383304372012-02-16T05:04:57.171-07:002012-02-16T05:04:57.171-07:00Congrats on finding this treasure in your files La...Congrats on finding this treasure in your files Laurence!Mia McPhersonhttp://www.onthewingphotography.com/wings/noreply@blogger.com
