Yesterday (from a few years away) I was complaining about the drones in that timeline, until I met a friendly dronespotter. He was doing his big year but with drones rather than birds. He lent me his Audubon field guide for the afternoon and I checked off quite a few models from my list. Mainly DJIs.

I’ll eat crow. Birding isn’t the only game in town. If you end up near the bluffs in a few years from now, bring your ‘nocs and a field guide.
