[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 843343, member: 47024"] Very interesting video - this is the second I've watched by this presenter. Very interesting points for sure to provoke thought, I think we are all sometimes too quick to watch a presentation and then say "definitively" this is "how it is". The main takeaway for me is we should not try to make our style like someone else's post with the sole end to be more popular. Also cool is thinking of where we go and how we affect wildlife. My wife and I see the intense crowds increase at various "hot spots" so we tend to try to find quieter areas. Its so rewarding to "find" birds on our own, takes a bit more time but its what we like to do. We had been looking for a yellow breasted chat for 15 years talking with birders as we traveled around perusing tips. Last year we saw reports of yellow breasted chats 4 miles from our house. We explored on our own and found this bird in the wild and we were the only ones in the field it was awesome. I enjoyed the video, good things to ponder [/QUOTE]
