[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 601633, member: 31397"] I personally use the word a little differently , having seen the basic birds of my ,or your , locale... the number of new species per outing begins to drop unless you make specific attempts to find ones you haven't seen,, then I would ,or you could ,say the new one , when you see it was a life bird ,, or lifer , as in , I or you, hadn't yet seen this in my or your life , as of that moment. .. and it wouldn't sound odd or presumptuous , as it might, IF it was the very first bird you identified other than a a chicken or a pigeon.,, It suggests you have some kind of a list or collection which you enjoy adding to , or checking off. My list aspires to have all the birds in Florida, which regularly are found in Florida , in each of its plumages , and actually see them , in florida. I don't really have much of an interest in vagrant birds which wander in from two states away by accident. So - I want to bag a short-tailed hawk, which I haven't got , and wont press much to chase around after flamingos. [/QUOTE]
