Found a Great Web Site

I thought it would be fun to start over, so I am adding them only if I see them again... and on the actual date I see them.

Have you noticed how the list of people has grown,lol?

WTG you all.

I can't believe the lack of participation from the Alabama Bird group Yahoo forum where I found the post for this new site.

I think it said you could do 2 list if you had more property. I may do another one and call it my life list for my old address

wrote to Chris about a life list, that I posted the link to his site on Daves Garden with overwhelming response and here is his response

Hi Donna,

Thanks for linking to my site. I am very happy people are finding it useful! Adding a life-list feature has been requested by several others as well so I am going to add that when I have time - hopefully this weekend or next (unfortunately, YardBirder.net is not my day job or I would do it right away).

I will also look into expanding beyond the US. The issue right now with that is that sorting birds in taxonomic order requires me to have a list of all the possible birds. Right now, I only have a list for North America so international lists would not sort correctly. I will note this on the FAQ page though and look at obtaining a full world-list.

Thanks again,

Chris Eagan

Just how cool is that! I am so glad we are such an enthusiastic group here!!

I was still having trouble with my yard description so I emailed Chris and it was a glitch and he has fixed it. I think it had something to do with Internet Explored. He didn't know it was a problem and was very happy that I let him know. If anyone has been having a problem you might try it now and see if it works as well for you as it does for me now.

thanx! just did a page in yardbirder! just the thing --- started looking and reading the pages there. hard to stop; very interesting-

the big plus is that i'm very likely to keep this list up! my other lists and things were started and forgotten

Nice pic Rita and I agree,I'll be keeping this list up. Before I actually was writing it out and was not keeping up w/ it.

Yes, I also contacted Mr. Eagan about not being able to put in the yard description. He sent me a prompt and courteous response and fixed the problem! Very nice. GM

Mine is up and running, Great site. Im in Western North Carolina.

Mine's up too.

Has everyone listed their usernames there?

I'm in (for Hebron, KY) and am using my username here as for YardBirder.net (easier to remember).

Alright Thanks Mrs Ed!

Thank You Mrs Ed

Thank you DonnaB for the link to this website. I think it will be a lot of fun and look forward to playing with it!

Thank you also Mrs Ed for making the list, it will be very handy for all of us!

Rose

Still working on mine! Will let you know when its all done! Thanks, GM

You all are welcome. If you want to be on the list, let me know and I'll edit it. Might not be for a day or so as I'm having carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow. Weee!

Marilynbeth I don't see yours. I saw everyone els's list

i'm using my user name here for yardbirder, too. had no problem getting my yardbirder page up and running.

Does anyone understand how you make a second yard list under the same username? I contacted him and he said I could do that but didn't explain how,lol.

My user name is also the same as here.

I think I'm coofuse...need to work on the name!

Pelle, I looked & looked for a way to make a second list & I can't find it.

same here. I know I saw it says you can but can't figure it out. Think he forgot to put a link to be able to do it. He did say he was going to try to make a link for a Life List this or next weekend

Marilynbeth is that the name of your list??? I am still not finding you there

On Yardbirder.net I am MaggiesWoods. The list is getting bigger every day! GM

Okay, I updated the list of names above. Also,

Yes, we changed the name. It's now CedarHill.

Does anyone keep lists with eBird?

http://ebird.org/content/ebird/

Do they let you list each species of bird?

LOL, no obviously I haven't used it.

Well Pelle, I'm trying to digest all the info. It certainly is not as user friendly.

"Using the interactive checklist :
The checklist displays all of the birds on the version you selected (Most Probable or Full), sorted in the order you selected (Taxonomic or Alphabetic). You can use either the scroll bar to move up and down the page to find the birds you are submitting, or jump to specific groups of birds using the linked group names near the top of the page. For example, on a taxonomically sorted list, clicking on “Woodpeckers” will take you right to the Woodpecker group on the checklist."

But I'm not able to pull up personal locations like yardbirder.net.

Yep, looks just like the Backyard Birdcount stuff. Probably all the same, since that's where I found this link.

Donna,

I haven't added any pics to it or anything else, but I'm using Marilynbeth, the same as here.

http://www.yardbirder.net/YardList.php?name=Marilynbeth

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Marilyn

I went ahead and made mine a life list. He never did add it as promised.

wanted to let you know that he finally added the life list feature.
http://blog.yardbirder.net/?p=4 explains the details ;-)

That is great Donna, I'm going to give it a try! Thanks for letting us know.

I found a few of you on there. I put my life list up but, I don't see me either.

I'm under croshan71... http://www.yardbirder.net/List.php?Name=croshan71&List=Shannons_life_list

There are 46 that I can think of!

I have tried to add another list but It won't take it. I tried several different names and it is not working!!
