Great job making it to Nats. Maybe I'll see you next year in competition.Paradox21 wrote:But along with the greater interest will come tougher competition.

Might be OT: Has anyone started studing or preparing for birds? (Maybe I should make a new thread or something, becuase this isn't really about Herps anymore...)

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
I will do birds next year, but Herpetology will be sorely missed. Also I take offense to the statement that ornithology is more important than herpetology.Paradox21 wrote:But along with the greater interest will come tougher competition.

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
I'm sorry if I've offended you, I didn't mean it, but I, personally, have never had a use for herpetology (others will say differently, I apologise again).inuyashakusho wrote:I will do birds next year, but Herpetology will be sorely missed.

Please believe me, I did not mean to offend anyone with that statement.

For Birds, I'm probably only going to study vocab and the like. Identification will come later when the list comes out.

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
i really want to do birds next year. im usually really at the events that require you to id a bunch of stuff (fossils, etc.) though i was kinda sad that i couldnt do a+r ...there are a lot of birds where i live and it would be kinda cool to know a bird by its call...sewforlife wrote:ah. but I don't want to identify bird calls (hopefully that wouldn't be on there)Lily Essence wrote:Heck yeah!
