I was talking to my dad about Flickr's many bird-oriented photo pools, and he asked me to point him to them. He's always been a birder, from back in his duck-hunting days to his current conservationist outlook. My sister got infected with the birdwatching bug, as well, and they go off to the many local bird spotting spots together. It's fun to go with them, and see them geek out about which species is which.
So anyway. Here are the groups I was telling you about, dad:
Field Guide: Birds of the World gives you enough for an ID.
Best of the Birds lets you post one bird picture, hopefully your best. As you take better ones, you delete your old entry and add the new one.
Your Best Bird Picture: Same deal.
Birds of Prey features lovely raptors and owls, and also lengthly discussions about which birds count as 'birds of prey.'
And: Here's a really nice hummingbird shot, and the amazing hoopoe.

I gotta go with the group on that BoP issue - calling a mere fish-eater a bird-of-prey is an insult to birds-of-prey everywhere
Some neat links Paul. RYC: rent the DVD they interview Davis and the his secretary of energy quite throroughly. Because Davis wanted to run for President as a Democrat that showed in the slant to Calf as well. Riveting stuff...
I grew up on a farm and spent many hours of my childhood studying the birds, watching their nests as the eggs hatched and the baby birds finally left, and then collecting their nests. Today I have numerous bird feeders and find great joy in watching them from my window.
