Where are my bird nerds!?!?

#lemon8contest #AskLemon8

I picked up birding in 2020 during Covid and it changed my life for the better. It’s not only fun but it’s relaxing and a great way to get outdoors!

The bird pictured is a native species to Colorado called the Rosy- finch!

... Read moreWhen I first started birding during the quiet days of 2020, I quickly realized it was more than just a hobby; it was a pathway to peace and a deeper connection with nature. But as I spent more time observing beautiful creatures like the Rosy-finch in my Colorado backyard, I began to wonder: where are all the other 'bird nerds' like me? How do people truly connect and share these incredible moments? That's when I discovered just how vibrant and welcoming the birding community truly is. It's not just about spotting birds; it's about sharing the awe, learning from others, and even contributing to something bigger. If you're like me and looking to deepen your birding experience, here’s how I've found ways to connect: Joining Local Birding Clubs: This was one of my first steps. A quick search online for 'birding clubs near me' or checking local nature centers often reveals a wealth of groups. These clubs are fantastic for beginners and experienced birders alike. I've joined guided walks where seasoned birders helped me identify calls I'd never noticed before and taught me about local migration patterns. It’s a wonderful way to meet like-minded people, make new friends, and explore new birding spots you might not find on your own. Plus, many clubs host workshops on topics like bird photography or feeder setup, which I found incredibly helpful. Diving into Online Forums & Social Media Groups: Beyond local meetups, the internet has opened up a huge world of birding communities. I've found really active Facebook groups dedicated to bird identification, regional birding, and even specific types of birds. Platforms like Reddit also have thriving birding subreddits where people share photos, ask for ID help, and discuss everything from optics to conservation news. The best part? You can connect with birders from all over the world, learning about species you might never encounter in your own area. It's a great way to feel part of a global passion, even when you're birding solo. Participating in Citizen Science Projects: This has been one of the most rewarding aspects for me. Citizen science projects allow everyday birders to contribute valuable data to scientific research and conservation efforts. My favorite is eBird, where I log my sightings after every birding trip. It's surprisingly easy to use, and seeing my observations contribute to global maps and research on bird populations gives me a real sense of purpose. Other projects like the Christmas Bird Count (a tradition I hope to join this year!) or Project FeederWatch are also incredible. Imagine: your casual birdwatching could be helping scientists understand population trends, habitat health, and the impacts of climate change. It makes every single sighting, like that beautiful Rosy-finch, feel even more significant. Sharing my sightings, getting tips on identifying tricky birds, and hearing about other people's adventures has truly enriched my birding journey. It’s amazing how a simple love for birds can bring so many people together, fostering both personal growth and a collective effort to protect our feathered friends. If you're just starting out or looking to connect more, don't hesitate – the birding community is waiting for you!

I’ve always loved birds. I think because I spent a lot of time with my grandma growing up and she also appreciated their beauty. This past spring, I bought myself a bird buddy feeder, and I become obsessed with it. Then I bought a bunch of other birdfeeders, and then special bird feed, now I us

Two bags of Nerds Gummy Clusters are displayed: a green bag of "Hoppin' Bunnies" and a purple bag of "Juicy Gummy Clusters Strawberry Punch." The image asks the viewer to swipe to see which bag is worth grabbing.
A green bag of Nerds Gummy Clusters "Hoppin' Bunnies" is shown with a pile of the multi-colored candy clusters. Text indicates they are 100 calories per 16 pieces and cost $3.99, described as a typical but yummy gummy cluster.
A purple bag of Nerds Juicy Gummy Clusters "Strawberry Punch" is shown with a pile of red and green candy clusters. Text indicates they are 90 calories per 6 pieces and cost $3.99, described as having a gusher-like inside.
the nerds cluster for gusher lovers 🍬🍓
Which Nerds bag is actually worth it? 🍭✨ I finally tried both and we have a clear winner! 🏆 The Juicy Gummy Clusters are a total 10/10 for me. Why I’m obsessed: • The Ratio: The gummy to nerds ratio is so much better than the original. • The Size: They are way bigger than the OG clusters! •
