literally why not get a bird feeder and log what birds you see coming to it? I can tell apart so many birds now, and I'm trying to be able to tell apart their calls. speaking of, merlin bird ID lets you record audio and it identifies calls in real time! plus, logging on ebird gives scientists information about birds that helps them learn more bird stuff! Im not an ornithologist if you can't tell, I just love these tiny (and sometimes not tiny) creatures we share this beautiful planet with

i really enjoy this app and its multitude of ways to ID birds. You can submit photos, audio files, or just peruse "likely birds" for any location. my job requires me to know a decent amount about birds, but this app has flattened my learning curve. before this i was just taking pictures of birds and asking people on IG

ever since exchanging my instagram scrolling session right after waking up for opening my window and trying to identify what kind of bird is chirping outside my life has improved drastically. this app has singlehandedly got me actively trying to see More Birds. i've been a user for about 6 months now and so far i have caught 57 different species. i have purchased a pair of binoculars. i love birds.

app made by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. great way to identify birds by taking a photo, sound recording, or answering a few basic questions about what bird you see. Here are some I’ve identified! The great horned owl was a from sound recording in the middle of the night! v thrilling for me. Gotta catch em all!!!! 🤪

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to

"yap" about the things that interest you all you want; enjoy your hobbies and pour your heart into them, stop worrying about if what you're into is "cringe"; if your friends don't like your hobbies/interests and put you down for enjoying them, find people that will; surround yourself with people you love who love you back and you will be so much happier than the people that are so quick to put others down for pursuing their happiness
