You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Do minimalist bird photos of common species still count as birding? (lemmy.world)

I liked how this crow was just hanging out with a nice view in the background, so I thought this might give a good photo.

American crow, seen yesterday in Boulder, CO, USA.

I’m no birdologist, but if you’re watching wild birds I believe you can describe your current act as birding.

Shit, you don’t even have to see them. Birding by ear counts too!

I like birding by Merlin, go for a walk, have Merlin on in your pocket, concentrate on the looking and spotting as you walk, then when you finish you get a surprise long eared owl notification.
