And, some time later, during the final stages of the bird-atlassing work, computer models of Serbian ranges for some 150 bird species were produced for the first time ever: Some bias was created because of the large data set from Belgrade and environs where the majority of active eBirders live. The consequences were amusing.

As the Red-Shouldered Hawk seen above screamed overhead, Acorn Woodpeckers not only treated themselves to the woodpecker feeder, they had to attack the sunflower feeders as well. All in all, I tallied 44 species. Fun birding!

As it turned out, these were not the only bad photos to help me flesh out my 2022 year list that day (species 201-211, on February 12th). And then the bird was gone. What could I do?

This fact, along with the fundamental nature of what separates species, leads to almost constant whiplash in the field, as birders try to puzzle out why certain lookalikes are different while two visually distinct birds are the same.
