on Birds are cool. · c/memes · 10 pts · 2y

I got into birding this spring as a hobby, thinking to myself "it's free, you just need to use your eyes and ears", withing a month I bought a $350 pair of binoculars. I've managed to fight off the temptation of a decent camera so far, thankfully. I found a great park at the tail end of spring migration about 10 minutes from my apartment, and the dawn chorus was almost sensory overload, the was so many different species singing and calling. I'm looking forward to what new birds I'll see during this fall migration and especially next spring migration.

It's pretty great, there's also Cornell's companion citizen science app called eBird that you can use to count birds around you which is useful to ornithologists to track bird population density and migration patterns!

I went ahead and switched to the SAVE plan. You can actually go through the application process and near the end of it, they'll provide you a list of plan options and how much you'll have to pay, if any. If you would have to start paying, you can quit the application and no changes will be made to your current plan / certification and at least you won't get "sticker shock" down the road and can start planning.
