I must like these Muscovy Ducks, as 109 out of my 141 observations have been with photos. 🙂

If you have any good photos showing all or most of the numbers, go to https://www.reportband.gov and fill out the form to report the banded bird.  You will get a nice letter of recognition as well as a certificate that has info on where the bird was banded, as well as the age at the time if known.

Maybe not my best but definitely my favorite. I had to stand on top of our picnic table to line it up but it was worth it for the artsy shot IMO.

the photos were good enough, they lose quite a bit when i post here. I reported them as "colored bands" and received an email from them. I'd love to find out more on this bird. Caspians are not terribly common here but this year there have been many passing through. Thanks

Not the best with all the dead sticks, but I still quite like how they turned out since they are not the easiest to approach

My first ever encounter with a Gray Partridge! I was about to drive away when I spotted some weird-looking pigeons in the field, it turned out they were not pigeons at all 😄

Not my best work, but good enough to be a photo lifer!

Ratings Appreciated. Rarely see one of these in the open...

Rarity and county lifer, this Summer Tanager provided some pretty good views for a couple minutes this morning much to the delight of a couple dozen birders. This was probably the best photo I managed of it - though the light was a bit harsh by then. Can't complain 😁
