Introduction

Hello everyone! This blog is dedicated to posting polls to find out what birds the people of Tumblr have seen and which ones they haven't.

If you want to submit a bird, I ask that you:

Check if your submission has been done before (I will try to keep a list of every bird I do)

Check if submissions are open

If they are, submit via asks

Submit birds at the species level (so not just e.g. 'pigeon' or 'crow' please! Insufficient submissions will be discarded!)

List

Have a wonderful day and keep on birding everyone!
