I certainly do, so @IKLland ty 4 the suggestion. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/516607431 I agree, much better, and I could see an even further cropped in version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 9 hours ago, dragon49 said: That photo of a Tricolored Heron is not cropped and wasn't post-processed at all. I do crop some photos, such as this Common Yellowthroat from the same checklist: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/516533591 I agree. I frequently have a dilemma when cropping or cropping more would focus more on the bird and show more details, but the downside is that the picture becomes a little (or more than a little) pixelated. Sometimes, I don't balance the issues enough and my finished product isn't cropped enough. I think I did a good job with the Common Yellowthroat above though. The cropped photo looks better. If you cropped the Tricolored Heron, that would be an amazing photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 My mother and step-father wanted to go the bird preserve today. With the upcoming weather, this was definitely the last outing of the year unless something extraordinary shows up. The interesting sightings included six Wood Ducks, five Crissal Thrashers, four Ross's Geese, three Virginia Rails, two Cackling Geese, and a lifer Tundra Swan a-swimmin'. https://ebird.org/checklist/S124671554 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 https://ebird.org/checklist/S124715154 Going on a complete checklist streak. I think it's awesome to keep a checklist streak, but kind of loses its meaning for me when you have to start submitting incidentals to keep it up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds are cool Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Woohoo! Went birding with the Dublin CBC today! Heard a Winter Wren which is a liter for my father! I also got some amazing photos of an Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Hermit Thrush. I observed two different pairs of Brown-heared Nuthatches excavating out a cavity nest! I got about 4ft away from one of the nests, but then couldn't focus on the bird.🤬 https://ebird.org/checklist/S124728032 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Trail run in Beaverdam. Spooked up 5 Wild Turkeys! I have not seen Wild Turkeys since August! I also saw an American Pipit which is kinda cool. Wish we saw them yesterday during the Dublin CBC. https://ebird.org/checklist/S124786547 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
