I cropped it a bit more and upped the exposure adjustment. It does lose some detail when uploading, so I hope this helps.
Note: The head is a brownish color on my monitor.
This fella looked like he was testing his wings this morning, flying around for a few seconds and returning to the same tree (out of my sight, of course). From SW Idaho.
Thanks for the help.
These were all from today in SW Idaho.
Thanks!
#1 - What duck (or other duck-like critter)?
#2 - Which gulls?
#3 - My guess is female Red-winged Blackbird (I've been wrong with that guess before!).
There were Black-billed Magpies in the area but I hadn't seen a juvenile before, without the lengthy tail feathers. And the same with the Barn Swallow and no 'forked tail'. ?
Thank you both!
