Take a look at the metadata for a moment…these are results 99.9% of us couldn’t produce. Thanks for sharing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Did everyone see the ruffed grouse looking at the Merlin ID of a ruffed grouse? It was in the top photos of the day yesterday, but is gone now. Thought that was pretty funny 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just look at the Parula photos on this checklist!! https://ebird.org/checklist/S109833370 I was actually standing right next to him and got some similar photos of the same bird, but he got the better angle haha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 This got to the top photos, and five starts!??!!?! It’s a two. Very poor sharpness, very poor background, tons of distracting branches and leaves, and the exposure is bad. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/451729171 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanager 101 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/454774011 This photo got bombed to a three. I'd call it a five. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to see a bombed photo, you’d think it’d be a 1 star. But, a three is just odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
