[Mnbird] Why are there so few postings on this list?

Or like me, avoids FB. I do not wish to have an account on FB. So I miss
out on those posts.
But then, I don't care to compete in a photo contest, either.
I enjoy other's photos, for sure, but I don't post photos of birds, I post
text only also.

I have enjoyed some poster's descriptions very much, some are almost
poetry, a real pleasure to read.
It has inspired me to sometimes offer the same.
