OK. Thank you! 🙂

I have a guess to submit to Liam but I'm not sure how to do it...could someone please advise me on the process? Do I just DM him? Thank you!! 🙂

Sadly, I haven't had the previous three birds...however, I do I have an American Goldfinch, yay! 🙂

I have used 2.51 MB of my 976.56 MB limit...so I'm good to go for a few decades too, lol! Saving space is why I almost always crop my photos...and cropping also helps to get more eye-pleasing photos...in my opinion. 🙂

Yep, I was here back in the day...I think I joined in 2009. Thanks @Kevinfor this trip down memory lane. I remember a few others that were active on here a lot back then... @jhauser42 , @PaintedBunting, @Royal Tern , @Raptorgurl ,they are all or were from Washington State when the crash happened. 🙂

This is probably my best photo... but this is my most favorite. 🙂

Black Oystercatcher [#545] and Northern Goshawk [#551] are already on the list at the numbers in [ ]'s. #612 is the next number up. 🙂

Yep, that is exactly what I was thinking too! 🙂

According to what I've read the berries are edible but not very tasty and they taste nothing like grapes. The birds love them tho. 🙂

Viewfinder for me...I find holding the camera at arms length too tiresome. Also, I feel I can zoom in better by using the viewfinder. The only time I use the LCD screen is for taking super macro shots. 🙂

@KevinCongrats! and Best Wishes! 🙂

Ok, thanks! 🙂

@IKLlandIs there any chance you could post the photos by uploading them? I think the details of each photo would be so much better...a photo of a photo is not the best for clarity. Thanks! 🙂

Bullock's Orioles are the only Oriole in my area. Male, female and just for fun, a nest. 🙂

I agree...but that is just my OCD thoughts! 🙂

I have no idea of the correct order or even if there is one. Personally I would start with the species and continue to add info as is necessary being sure to consistently use the same procedure throughout. 🙂

While @Charlie Spenceris undoubtably a very clever and witty guy, attackee is an established dictionary word from long ago, just sayin', LOL!!! 🙂 attackee noun at·tack·ee | \ ə-ˌta-ˈkē \ plural attackees Definition of attackee : someone or something that is the victim or target of an attack : one that is attacked -When it attacked someone, an article often included a rebuttal from that person at the story's end—no need to wait for a nasty letter from the attackee in the following month's issue.— Bob Betcher, Press Journal (Vero Beach, Florida), 2 Nov. 2001 -This posture will usually cause the attacker to hold off long enough for the attackee to hurry back to its own territory.— Larry S. Thompson, Audubon Magazine, September 1985 First Known Use of attakee 1872, in the meaning defined above NOTE: Information was copied from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/attackee

My input is : #1 might be a little bit too light, maybe add a touch of contrast back in #2 looks alright, #3 maybe a tad, to me if a photo looks grainy it is over sharpened. Sorry, I can not help with the photoshop app. 🙂
