This is just a quick recommendation for a place to go ask questions: Backyard Bird Watchers Forum. It’s located at GardenWeb which is pretty darn big. Anyhow, I do like this message board. If you have questions about what to feed a certain species of wild birds or need help with an id, this is a great place to ask. Now as far as message boards go the people that visit there are great. It’s not a spat place and the only annoyance is a person who post the inevitable VISIT THIS (same) SITE! for every question that gets asked but hey that’s my personal problem. I find it annoying but maybe you will not.
What I do love is the fact that aside from the one annoying person, there’s a lot of friendly knowledge floating around there and a group of fine photographers. People tend to post photos of their backyard birds or birding trips, which is fantastic in my book. I love the photos! The group has been a big help to me with small details on how I can attract specific species, the needs of individual birds and general ideas. It is primarily USA – Canada based with the occasional South American post. Give them a try.
