Yesterday I found an Alder Flycatcher. It is a rare bird for this area and was not on my target list. That was enough to make me happy. Once I was fairly confident of my find, I booked it on ebird. Today I find out that after I booked it, a number of experience birders who are often first finders followed suit.
It was my first first – I was the first person in the area to spot the bird and this was the first time that had happened.It not only makes me feel like a “real” birder, but it makes me a contributor and not just a follower.
That was a good day!
