Aidan B 926 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 For the next challenge, how about three birds of prey at in one photo, but they can't be vultures. Is this to hard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 652 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I don’t think that’s too hard... Around here Bald eagles congregate on the river this time of year, and you can often see 4 in the same tree. Though, now that I think of it, can’t come up with another a scenario 😂. Short eared owls are often together right? Edited January 17 by Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have feet more like a chicken. 🙂 Edited January 17 by lonesome55dove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
