When you say you have the same camera, do you mean that you share the same camera and share the same photos, or do you both have your own cameras that happen to be the same make and model?

Wow, I never would have thought that the two photos were taken by two separate people on two separate cameras. The framing and composition looks virtually identical in both photos to me, which I was sure was more than just coincidence, but apparently not. Thanks for the explanation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How rare are Collared-dove on the East Coast? In California, especially in the Central Valley, every four telephone poles has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Shank Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 They're pretty rare most places. Shady Grove, PA is the first known location in PA where there are some established. That is where I got mine tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 24 minutes ago, Kevin said: What is the definition of rare? I would say something flagged on ebird as rare, that is not flagged because its needed for confirmation, and/or less than 10 records a year in a given area. While that might seem high for some areas, places where there are a lot of birders, and good geography, 10 is a low number. If you in response of the many different numbers and species I had, there was a fallout , on Point Reyes, which is a piece of land that sticks way out into the ocean, that has 4 groups of trees on the 20 mile peninsula. Perfect vagrant trap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
