The Bird Nuts Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) How about a photo challenge? Whoever posts their photo of the subject first wins. The one rule is that your photos must be taken after the subject(s) are posted. The first challenge is to take a photo of a jay (any kind) perched on a powerline. GO!

Didn't realize you don't have any where you live. I'll try to make it so you'll be able to participate in the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Everyone waiting at the power lines with their cameras this morning? ? I won't be able to get outside until later - got two rambunctious puppies to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Those of us who still get to work are at a definite handicap! Might I suggest starting the next challenge on a Saturday morning? EDIT: Indeed, posting the challenge at 10 or 11 Eastern would take care of the Eastern earlier sunrise advantage.

I tried to make it more difficult (I don't see Blue Jays on power lines every day). I doubt someone will complete the challenge within a day or even a week.

Bird Brain Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) California Scrub Jay. Sorry the photo isn't better, but it's the best I could do within 5 minutes of reading this challenge!! ?
