I'm sure there's birding oriented tours that would be much better of course. Edited March 23, 2022 by PaulK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a low four. The bird is facing away from the camera, there is no detail in the white areas, the bird is rather small in the frame, and the sharpness isn’t fantastic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this county's standards though, a photo like that only comes along every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 The sad part is when people think that just because it’s almost half the size of a Canada goose, it’s a Cackling. So not true… https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/429402491 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 This was rated as a three!

Personally I don’t care though if it’s unobtrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I feel like this one is rated a bit high. It seems a little blurry to me and I rated it at a 4/5. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/142603101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
