David, excellent question and something that took me a while to understand. Getting a 'lifer' is when a birder sees a bird species they had not seen before. Example: A few months ago, I was in Galveston TX, and saw several Seaside Sparrows. Since I had never seen this species before, it was a 'lifer' or 'life bird' for me. Lifers are always a fun and exciting part of birding! Hopefully this answers your question and if you have anymore, feel free to let me know! ~Caleb
We have used eBird for several years. You explain new ways for us to use this valuable resource. Thanks very much.
Glad I could help!
Can you do a video of how to track and or find rare birds in your area? And maybe how to use the wind websites to help you with that?
What's a lifer?
Of course, David! When I record it and post it to UA-cam I'll put the link here.
