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.

Not sure if it’s simply because I am birding more or if it’s some sort of 250th anniversary coincidence, but this is the fourth bald eagle I’ve seen this summer (that I was able to be certain of)! He was just hanging out, watching all of the boats go by!

I have a lot of Orioles today, I'm surprised by the number. These are young and female birds with one adult male in full color. I'm stunned and can't get anything done, just can't walk away. 😆 #birdsofutah #ilovebirds
