Connor Cochrane Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Why is my GRYE photo up, I seem to be asking this a lot. It's not even in focus. I guess linking your photo to the forums helps out with ratings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached it to the "in flight" topic, but didn't attach a link to the Macauly Library, and it only had one rating. By the way, your TUDU photos were great. It only stuck it's head out twice during the hour I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdNrd Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 @Jefferson Shank your cardinal is up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Shank Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's definitely one per person at a time on top photos. When my American Goldfinch went down because it's over 24 hours old and my Northern Cardinal immediately popped up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yeah, it definitely only features one photo from the same contributor at a time. Otherwise people who upload a bunch of great pics at a time might dominate the best of the day, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be a tough bird to get really good looks at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there last afternoon, and a off leash dog flushed 80% of the flock over to the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks @IKLland and @Jefferson Shank for pointing this out as I don't follow these postings. Presumably these are photos posted in the previous 24 hours. I have no idea how they decide between forty 4 star ratings and twenty 5 star ratings!! PS. Cute swan photos always get more attention than they should. Your Carolina Wren is excellent Jefferson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Shank Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just in time, your Carolina Wren took it's place! That's because his is over 24 hours old, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
