Well, I am too scared to post on the birding forums, in fear of being ridiculed I will not say where I had pel's sightings in the past two months, and photographed them. :wall:

I will be violating copyright laws DeeDee, but you may take up my challenge on another thread. :twisted: You see, your hobby is my livelyhood, so PM your details and we get together and compare pic's. :wink:

But the same Pel's at the same time is taken by another mite, I will try and PM him. :thumbs_up:

But in all honesty, I do feel that the birding forum should welcome more non-avid birders, and dont "Fall off their chair laughing" :thumbs_up: at peeps wanting to learn from you Kenners. :whistle:

But then, anybody who is interested may contact me for any bird pictures, up to and including Bearded Vulture,(Not in GG), Lesser Yellow legs, etc.etc. 8) And mods, I am not advertising pleeze dont fire me. :twisted:

Financial: The act of gaining finacial equity after financial ruin...... :hmz:

Birding: The act of challenging some stiffies to a weekend in Kruger. :twisted:

If you took the picture, how can it be copyright infringement?

I am not a "kenner" Scipio, just someone who enjoys birding and shares his sightings on the forum. I will help out with any ID that I can and normally help with as much information that I possibly can. Go sift through the ID threads and see what I mean.

I have never and will never laugh at anyone looking for help nor have any of the birders, whom I personally know in the real world, ever not helped or laughed at anyone looking for help.

Sorry Scipio but that statement is utter BS. You got ridiculed because of the stuff you post on this forum, not because nobody wants to help.

OK, short and simple:
3 Teams, 4 Lists, the loser buys the beer and the winner takes home the bragging rights.

The teams:

Team 1)The Stiffies/Rednecks/stifribbons/those funny guys, you know who I mean. :twisted:

Team 2)The Appies/chasers/Biep-bieps, you know who I mean. :twisted:

Team 3)Us normal guys. :whistle:

I would have loved to add those dry ones, but they still think the world is flat and ends at Unions and. But Maybe one will read here. :wall:

The lists:

List 1)Birds(for the stiffies)

List 2)Big Game(For the appies)

List 3)Goggas(Just for fun)

List 4)Reptiles(For me)

Now we pick a time, the stiffies should like Nov/Dec and the appies would like winter, but I think summer is hot, cause the girls wear short skirts.
We also pick a spot, Stiffies would prefer North I am sure, Appies would take the south I am sure, but then the swinging vote for the teams is up to the normal ones.

3 Days, how bout it???????

Then we put a pricetag(Well, points) on some species like Pel’s, A lion Kil, Black Mamba, and tic the rest. And then as I said, the Loser buys the beer, and the winner gets bragging rights.
