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.

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.

Wow what a great photographs! All the photographs so cute and pretty and colourful too. Red -bellied Woodpecker keaper never seen before . A squirrel tried to get some peanuts from the feeder but failed it’s also very interesting! Enjoyed your post!

Interesting job. With the onset of spring, the birds in my feeder stopped flying. They probably have enough food now.

You have a new "bird"

That's nuts. (pun intended).
Also great shots @etcmike. I always thought all woodpecker species had very long beaks like what I see in geographic videos on TV. It turns out some of the beaks of such species aren't that long. This post was insightful.
