hopefully purging some folks no longer pals i have been a pal for 13 years and love it r armstrong thank you we couldn t do it without you if you don t get a reply from a pal please let us know message to admin thank you for asking for an update to my profile i was a birdingpal for nearly 20 years and have many good memories of helping nearly every one of my birdingpals see their target bird s my greatest challenge was helping my penultimate birdingpal who came halfway around the world from australia to california see his target species the north american nemesis black rail i took p hansbro out 11 may 2022 just 5 days following my spinal stenosis surgery and put him in an area where he saw two black rails as required by the uk birding rules he follows unfortunately my age and physical limitations are limiting my ability to serve as a birdingpal it s best to go out a winner and getting a birdingpal a bird as difficult to see as a black rail is a most satisfying accomplishment to savor this email is my letter of resignation from birdingpal i send my best wishes to past and present birdingpals and thank knud rasmmusen for the opportunities to share my birding knowledge and skills with my birdingpals d lee california usa continued my birdingpal memories include picking up a scottish couple on a cold morning to discover they hadn t brought jackets fortunately i had tossed a couple of extra heavy wool jackets in the trunk of my car and they had a great day another birdingpal was a buddhist monk from vermont who had four target species california thrasher wrentit nuttall s woodpecker and yellow billed magpie we got all four although the two firstmentioned skulkers turned out to be the easiest to see and the expected easiest species the magpie turned up last that s one thing about being a birdingpal when you think you know the birds they have a way of teaching you how much you don t know about them for instance i ve never seen it in print but i ve seen 75 yellow billed magpies fly into a single tree at dusk in the middle of the winter to roost and i took some pals birding in late spring early summer and watched 165 yellow billed magpies flying high in the predawn light out of the valley we were entering to look for them d lee california usa we had a wonderful day with birding pal robert crnkovic in croatia last fall although we missed the window for migration robert still showed us many life birds he is not only super knowledgable about the birds and all scientific names but also other fauna and the history of the areas as well it was delightful spending the day with robert warm and professional c flaiz march 2024 i have made the most wonderful friends through birdingpal org i have reached out to incredibly nice people who have volunteered their time and energy to pick me up and take me out to go birding either one or two days in a row while vacationing in the cooperstown ny area and the park city ut area these will be lifelong friends that i currently keep in touch with weekly i look forward to using it on my next trip thanks so much for taking the time to set up this website and keeping it going over the years it is a true gift in so many ways jean aug 2022 being a pal we have had several great birding days over the years in new jersey usa with our great birdingpals p in cape may and b in northern new jersey both of whom have become firm friends now we are awaiting our first time visitor dennis to help him in our own area can t wait what a wonderful system this is well done knud hosting a pal great what a great feeling to host a pal having had several birding days with our pal friends in nj usa here in the center of england we may not have the hundreds of species that occur in the usa but we can offer some fantastic sights an example our pal dennis from florida sent us a wide ranging list of european birds he would like help with several were already moving away from us for the winter quite a few were never going to be seen in the uk but many more were either in our own back garden or at local reserves so saturday was spent at three different locations in and around the west midlands it helped that sheila and i are members of both the west midland bird club and worcestershire wildlife trust not only was dennis able to tick off several from his list but he also was looking for mammals and at our first site of upton warren he spotted two otters a first for him and also for us at that location the following day we took dennis to wales which we insist was a new country anyway the object was to see red kite and boy did we give him that species in abundance there were approximately 300 at the gigrin farm feeding station near rhayader dennis also managed to see our treecreeper too inevitably we dipped on some easy birds such as coal tit and green woodpecker but dennis managed several at his hotel later in the week clive sheila of kingswinford england this is long overdue but i just wanted to say thank you to your organization which puts people like me in touch with experienced birders around the world i met up with m z in dartmouth nova scotia in august of 2022 after making contact with him through birding pal he was very knowledgeable and friendly and it was a really great experience many thanks to both him and your organization for providing this opportunity for people to meet up like this it s a wonderful way to connect not only people with nature but also people with other people something which is hugely important in this time of global environmental and political crises e taylor japan you guys are awesome i will try you again on my next int l trip p stevens what a responsive and helpful organization no refund thanks kind regards david bd i want to thank birding pal for the opportunity to meet birdwatchers from other countries last days we enjoyed the company of l choong in malaysia who took us to see beautiful places in his country with his vehicle we toured places he knew and showed us many species of birds even though i do not speak english very well we understood each other perfectly thank you very much birding pal
