Over the past year I had come to realize  whether you were on a micro-computer or a mobile phone, location tags in the sidebars had become overwhelming. This website has been live since January 2014, and now has over 2,500 archived posts. I needed to make these 2,500 posts easily viewable by birding location, but limit confusion. Thus, on this first day of 2026 I have hopefully fixed the HUGE number of sidebar location tags which can overwhelm the user, BUT still kept them easily available and readable.

Via the any device’s top menu there is now the menu item: Bird by Location.

If you select that menu option the Northeastern Minnesota Birding Locations PDF and every other birding location tag loads. Take a look. This gets the location tags off the sidebars where the location numbers were overwhelming and also increased website load times.

Here are two screenshots taken on a PC. This menu also appears in a mobile phone’s root menu. Location data / tags will still be published with every post.
