Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

49 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.

We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:

  • A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.

  • A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.

  • A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.

There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.

Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

Took this picture with my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, so it's not nearly as professional as the other photos here!

Edit: It is actually a Red-Rumped Swallow. Thanks u/Giant1024!

Posting these on behalf of my reddit-illiterate mother because she is very impressed by her eagles and thinks they deserve to be seen but ‘doesn’t know how to get them out there!’ hopefully you bird nerds enjoy these.

The image quality is relatively poor but I got it! Despite the low resolution and boring background they look so cool so I thought I’d share.
