So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience. The disadvantage is that this is not a typical parrotbill at all – it is a bit like the old joke of searching for your keys not where you lost them, but where there is plenty of light to facilitate the research.

With nine years of experience using it and birding with beginning birders, I would like to update that opinion. This is, in a way, no surprise since it was designed by birders who have used their own experiences in the field to determine what warbler seekers really need. The Resources section is very brief.

How much do birders value a birding experience? But there are few transactions that can be analyzed to determine how much value birding experiences, themselves, provide to a birder. I emailed the authors and asked about their research and their use of eBird data. This includes bird-watching experiences.

Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. The new offspring of that year hang back and leave later, finding their way to their wintering grounds using something other than experience, and something other than being taught by their parents.

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience.
