A NEW BIRDING DIVERSION
BAHAMA WOODSTARS LEAD VOTE NOW POLL CLOSES 29 FEBRUARY
This could be fun. Unless no one bothers to participate. I’ve just found out how to do this, having wondered for a while what the little widget did. There may be some way for you to put your own choice, but I am a slow learner. Another time maybe. For now, you can positively opt out of the nominated birds – your very own protest vote. Or you can all just ignore the whole thing, as I rather fear may happen… If this prototype bombs, I’ve only wasted a couple of hours, after all…
UPDATE: After a week, the order is (1) Bahama Woodstar (2) Abaco Parrot (3) Western Spindalis (4=) Banaquit and ‘Sorry…’ The poor Tropicbird got no votes and has been removed…

I love the Bananaquits too, but they are all over the place. Heck, I love them all.

Then I need to give simpler choices next time. “DO YOU LIKE VENOMOUS BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS? (1) YES (2) NO (3) UNDECIDED”! rh

Well, I live at Bahama Palm Shores. Bananaquits and parrots are both too common here for me to vote for them. Much rarer and more beautiful, in my mind, are the Western Spindalis.

Hi Janene. I photographed the Parrots and the Spindalis at BPSN last year during a wonderful afternoon there with Ricky Johnson https://rollingharbour.wordpress.com/explore/birding-with-ricky-johnson/. It’s amazing to have someone say the Parrots are too common – I know of some who have looked in vain during a week of birding. Location, location! The Spindalis is my favourite smaller bird without a doubt. Thanks for taking part. Some others already have too, so maybe Polls will be fun now I have found out how to make them… ATB rh

Hi Brigitte, I’m with you there… I’ve got a feeling the parrots will take the lead, but I’d like the others to get a look in, esp the Woodstars ATB rh
