The first bird I knew the name of was a Red-winged Blackbird. They would nest in the field in front of our house. There was a natural spring that flowed there and it created a small wetland. They co-existed very peacefully with the cows. I was about 8 yo.

We have a pair nesting every year along our local greenway. They like to hide whenever I am there. This is the best I could do. From 2016 -

Ever use a remote shutter App for Bird photos ?
Spyonabird replied to Chris Clem's topic in Photo Sharing and Discussion
I have the Canon Connect app and I find it worthless for bird photography in my hands. My pics are never sharp as it lags on the focus. I only use it for quick downloads to my phone. It might be better for more stationary objects or landscapes. -

I have heard about "bad" photographers baiting the owls with mice to get the perfect shot. This is just a bad practice in general.

The reason for the camera information was to make sure the photographer was far enough away to as not to disturb the owl. Although... people can lie. I guess they have continued the practice in an effort to give them some special protection. Snowy pics are
