Science is fairly well established that yawning can spread like wildfire among groups of humans, as well as a few other mammals. In one experiment, yawns were observed when birds in neighboring cages could see each other, and again when views of adjacent birds were blocked. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

The citizen science aspect is a big hit with many users, and eBirding areas with little existing data can be fun as well.
