Citizen science is a great way to involve children and adults in discovery and contribute to scientific research and conservation. Project FeederWatch through Cornell University is a great way to get involved in citizen science. You can learn more at the Project FeederWatch website.

I typically watch birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 27-28 March 2021.

I have got evidence. My advice to you complete achievement 4 task, learn how to create quality content. You will be able to earn more than this.

You are wrong. You can make complain.Its doesn’t matter to me. We are doing teamwork from 2018.I am not using multiple account.You can do what you want. Who are you to send me warning?

You are nothing but a spammer. Now in steemit there is no place for spammer. Only the quality content maker will survive. I have seen your account. There is only one post which was created two months back. Before that post your last post was three years ago.

I already told that we are doing team work from 2018. We are friends. @mdfahim told us about steemit. We are using steemit together not one persone.

We are friends in real life.please don't say anything without knowing the true.

Stop fooling people’s. What about rohini and jessica69? Stop lying man. Just have a look at your timing of comments. I checked all your accounts.

I will never share female Facebook id here.I already told you we work together but not one person.We inform about new post each others this is the cause of timing of comments.I think you are a spamer.

Ha ha ha i am a spammer? Go check my account. I have completed achievement4 task. I am not like you. Who is trying to earn by unethical way. If you have got the guts then earn by posting quality content. Stop stealing penny.

What a nice bird! I am really speechless. Camera work just amazing. I enjoy it.

Many types of little birds looking nice Cool thanks for sharing Mike sir 🙂

Mindblowing shots. just amazing.

Sir @etcmike multiple account holders are trying to steal rewards from your post. Four account from one person.

Thank you! After reading your comments I have reduced my voting power on those comments.
I am not wise enough to know absolutely a person is using multiple accounts. This is why I reduced my voting power percentage as a compromise.

Thank you for your dilligence in protecting the integrity of the SteemIt community.

Have a great week!
Steem on!
Mike

Thanks Mike. I think we should not tolerate those activities which can pollute steemit.

thank you for sharing the project, have a nice day
