Are me and Slag the only Birdwatchers here?
No
I've used eBird since 2010 for bird records. It's grown a lot and is mostly Americans but is growing fast with overseas users. Some pretty cool information at their site which continues to improve. And yes, it is large enough now to to give useful information to scientists.
For example this shows the migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds throughout last year based on data from eBird members.

Wow that's pretty cool.
I found out when I last went to Boston the the Canadian geese that migrate there, nest in the same nest each year. Built in GPS.

Very cool.
We have finches, cardinals, woodpeckers, grosbeaks and all sorts of avian friends visit my seed and suet feeders.
I'm setting out my hummingbird feeders April 1st. I have 12 total and rotate 6 at a time. Should see the first Hummer before April 15th around Memphis.
I received an Oriole feeder for Christmas and set it out the first of March and have had a couple visit. Never had seen one live until now. They love oranges and grape jelly.
No bluebirds as yet in the bluebird box I put out.
Bird watching is good for the heart.

I have feeders all around my patio area. I love to watch them. I also planted lots of flowers that attract butterflies. Hoping for a few cocoons this year.

Does this explain why there were no ducks this year?

Nope, big bird nerd here. Have always been interested in birds but once I moved to rural FL it really took off. Seeing just shy of 100 different species of birds from my back porch makes it easy to stay interested.

What the rarest bird you’ve seen there?

If you're in Canada just call them geese.

Also, there's a woman in Canada that feeds wild birds.

Rarest was probably the Golden-winged Warblers. They are not yet on the endangered species list but likely will be soon (habitat loss.) They breed near the great lakes and winter in central America so we have a brief opportunity to see them on their way through each year. Beautiful little birds.
I'm also lucky to get purple finches most years. Not a rare bird per se but rare to make it to the gulf coast.

I’m interested and curious about bird species, but I haven’t taken the time yet to get educated in the topic.
I saw a pink flamingo flying south, fairly high in the air but definitely identifiable, as I was driving on the I-10 from N.O. To B.R. last week. I was somewhere between Gramercy and Gonzales.
First time I’ve seen a flamingo in the wild in Louisiana. How rare is that?
