Lovely photos, of course!
Perhaps you can help me with a question I've had...What is a "life bird?" I've heard it either way, 1) that it's a bird you've seen throughout your life, commonly, or 2) that it's a bird you've never seen before in your life.
How do you interpret it?

Hi Lana, good question.

* Lifer:
A first-ever sighting of a bird species by an observer.

Never seen = unknown! ;)
