If you vote in this poll, please consider giving this blog a follow. I'd love for people to be able to see the content they're voting for!

> New World Sparrows was originally going to be USA Sparrows, since I wanted to have a smaller list of birds, but there are a lot of cool sparrows in Central and South America who shouldn't get passed over. May be a 3-option poll rather than 2, depending on how many birds there are in the Passerelidae family.

> I saw a tag where someone was excited to see backyard birds that weren't from the US, so I'm thinking of running a submissions-based poll where birds can be sent in by people who love them. Depending on the amount of submissions, we'll see how many European birds stick around, too (since they're also pretty well represented, from what I've seen).

> Another round of Niche Birds. This will be another submission-based poll, but I am still unsure how I want to structure a redux of this poll. I may go for 'eliminated' birds from the first round or may change how I pick birds from yalls submissions. There will be a submission cap if I open it up again (3-5 birds each).

> Cuckoos would be a vast undertaking of species since there are so many birds in that family, so I would not be able to put a lot of effort into them. It would boil down to "prettiest/coolest" with not a lot of facts. That being said..... I love cuckoos......
