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 donβt think thatβs too hard... Around here Bald eagles congregate onΒ the river this time of year, and you can often seeΒ 4 in the same tree.Β Though, now that I think of it, canβt come up with another a scenario π. Short eared owls are oftenΒ together right? Edited January 17 by Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
