Hey all,
just a quick question: If you, like many birders, record ‘year lists’, do you
tick birds only on sight alone or do you tick birds from call (even if you
don’t end up seeing them). Personally if I hear a bird that would be new on my
year list, I tick it as this saves me time trying to see a perhaps common
species that I’ve seen many times before and so gives me more time to focus on
birds I may not have seen. One questionable aspect of my practice is the fact
that, if I hear a bird that would be a lifer for me and tick it on my year list
that it only remains as a year tick until the day I do end up seeing and
identifying the species in question.
Basically I’m asking if you tick by sight or sound on your year list, not your
life list.
I would appreciate any/all answers!
Kindest regards,
Max Breckenridge,
