Why does that link knock me off Firefox every time I click on it?

Holy crap. I know we aren't birding, but still... that's ridiculous!

No se. But the jist of it is that Ebird just received its 100 millionth record.Brian Hubbs wrote:Why does that link knock me off Firefox every time I click on it?

For some reason, it makes me happy that the 100 millionth entry was submitted by a twelve-year-old, who saw a robin.

Pretty dang good growth, for ten years... 93,040 participants. But... bird sightings are not nearly so problematic to report as herp sightings, given a bird's natural propensity for mobility. Plus... who don't like birds? We herpers labor under an unfair yet extant discrimination.
I used to have a girlfriend named Robin, who I'd wake up early, every morning, so she could get... ahhhh... never mind. jim

With no emotocon... not sure if you're joking or not... it's a play on the old "early bird gets the worm' axiom I would tell her that, though, when waking her with what Jim Morrison once called 'the dull surprise'. not sure why she left me...FunkyRes wrote:Why are you shocked he would want his GF to get him his morning coffee?chris_mcmartin wrote:hellihooks wrote:I used to have a girlfriend named Robin, who I'd wake up early, every morning, so she could get... ahhhh... never mind. jim

Re: We have some catching up to do.
i'm guessing that progress will most likely eliminate all herps by the time we could even think about 100 million. on the bright side , i think the catastrophic ecosystem collapse that will have occurred prior to this, will have eliminated us in the process. not too sure if a smile is warranted here, but hey, it would be a good thing for nature.
