Fat Birder 500
The Fat Birder Top 500 Birding Websites has finally exceeded the 500! When I first signed up to Fat Birder I don't think there were even 250 sites listed. I remember mentioning to Non Birding Bill that I wanted to add Birdchick to the list and he was leery. I can get overly obsessive about rankings. I'm no longer privy to my stats page because I get too involved with it over silly things like "Yesterday I had 5 visits from Seychelles and today only 2! What's wrong, why aren't they reading today?"
Anyway, my expectations with my ranking have been far exceeded and I thank everyone who takes time from their day to read about birds or my disapproving rabbit.
While looking at the new additions today, I came across Kids for Birds. It's for New Zealand but still a great idea.

Aw, thanks for linking to the NZ birds page. I checked out the galleries and had lots of fun looking at all the birds we'd seen on our trip to New Zealand in 1999.
My mom had bought a NZ bird book and we marked every bird we saw. New Zealand is full of cool birds (and other animals). I especially loved the pukekos, which sort of look like blue chickens. And the little fantails doing their little falling-flying sort of thing from branch to branch.
And, of course, the kiwis (which we only saw in the zoos) and the yellow-eyed penguins (which we saw in the wild!) were very exciting.
The Fat Birder is a super gentleman, isn't he? I've corresponded some with him and anyone who has not made his acquaintance does not know what they are missing.
