There's less photos to lose on the smaller memory cards IF one of the cards goes bad for some reason.

When discussing data backup, the proper word is 'WHEN', not 'IF'.

I also know my photos are there.

Respectfully, you don't.  Memory cards are volatile to a degree and aren't intended for long term storage.  Odds are great your photos are all still there but it's not a certainty, especially across that many cards and photos. 

But with that aside, how do you find a particular photo across that many cards?

Does not look like Loggerheads I have seen - missing the black trim above the bill normally seen on Loggerheads. And this has a more defined hook or spike on bill.

Agreed.  Northern.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Google Photos compresses any photo over 16 megapixels.  I think Google One Storage & Backup is what you're looking for.

If someone is looking for storage only for backups, I'd avoid the photo apps.  I'd go with either Google One Storage or Microsoft OneDrive.

Yes, bird names that are indirectly derived from proper names are explicitly excluded by the committee's recommendation.

How's their suet?  Probably not very good, since they never mastered making cheese either.  And for smuggling purposes, that's a LONG way for the llamas to swim.

What's the difference between a one-L lama, a two-L llama, and a three-L lllama?

A one-L lama is a Tibetan religious leader.

A two-L llama is a South American pack animal. 

A three-L lllama is a really big fire.

Forgive a homeschooled lad but the way I learned math is different than yours. 

You weren't supposed to notice that.  For that matter, you weren't supposed to notice he was taking a cut in the first place.

@Charlie Spencer can get you a deal on the suet and you can give him his cut.

Sorry, I've changed my business model.  I've dropped the suet entirely and am going to concentrate solely on smuggling llamas.

The main hurtle of Charlie getting this in one guess has been passed, so is it possible the entire forum might make it?

Do young people today still use the phrase, "Bite me!"?

I'm not sure what their diets consist of but I'd be worried about them getting hooked on the suet and mainlining it right to their stomachs long before it reached its destination. 

Squirrelbane the Unstoppable, my terrier mutt, occasionally finds a chunk of suet that bird dropped.  The effects on her digestive output are ... unpleasant.  I'm picturing a llama trying to scoot its rump along the ground.

[Plover - Wilson's or Semipalmated?]

Waties Island, Horry County, northeast coastal SC.  01 Oct 23.

The beach was loaded with shorebirds and I'm just getting around to sorting through the photos.  The legs look more pink than orange, and I don't see any orange on the bill, which has me leaning Wilson's.  The bill does look too short for Willie, but that could be due to the angle of the head.  The bird appears slightly larger than nearby Least Sandpipers in the same photo.

Thanks!

I’ve dipped on one of these 

I've seen one, out the window of my sister's car from an on-ramp somewhere between Houston and San Antonio.  It was across the street from a Buc-ee's but in Texas, that doesn't narrow it down much.

[Are these Snow Geese? Mute Swans? – Maryland]

I see black on the two rightmost birds, and I convinced myself the rightmost bird has a 'grin patch'.  I think they're Snow Geese from the large end of the size spectrum, hanging out with small Canadas.

If we're going to be business partners...I can give you a reasonable deal on a few llamas. 

The llamas also get 10% each, right?
