In addition to Bob O'Brien noticing the male vs female composition of the
crowd of twitchers in Devon, I noticed something else. The photo are from
2006.
I see only one SMARTPHONE and one DIGITAL CAMERA. Everyone was using
spotting scopes. My how times have changed.

Looking at the amazing Devon, England photos alerted to us by Darrel, I
noticed very, very few women.This made me wonder about the makeup of OBOL by
female/male?Has anyone tallied this? By first name I guess?Bob OBrien Carver

Thanks, Darrel. This seems to work.

I sure hope our poor, sad, (relatively) lonely Steller's Eider never learns
about this.On the other hand, Devon could be her next winter vacation spot.

PS If you lived in Devon and had a Siberian Accentor coming to your feeder
one winter, what would you do?

If you think birding sometimes gets crowded here, google "long-billed
murrelet in devon" and take a look at the crowd gathered to see England's
first record of the species. It is mind blowing..
