@BryanKrause thank you. There is an audubon society and a wetlands/bird preserve near me. My friend also volunteers with a wonderful wild birds rescue org and it just dawned on me that they'd be a great resource too.

@Rosie Heya! Not a biologist but this might be relevant to you: inaturalist.org/observations

I've been using it to identify bees in my area, they also have birds :)

@curious thank you. That's so cool. One of my favorite accounts on social media is NYPD Bees which is the police officer in New York whose function is to respond to reports of bee swarms in NYC.

oh wow...ok I can see how opening a mailbox full of bees is a bit frightening haha
