Bird Brain Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just now, The Bird Nuts said: Wow! Congratulations! I guess they really do love power lines. They do. And there is a nesting pair just across the road from me. The power lines run across above their nest tree, a small evergreen. So it's very common for them to light on the wires there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone, @lonestranger had the great idea to let the winner choose the next photo challenge. That means it's @Bird Brain's turn! (If you don't want to choose you can pass to someone else) Edited April 2, 2020 by The Bird Nuts 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can post your challenge whenever you want, but you might get more people participating if you wait until the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is today the day to put out the garbage, or............Oh, yeah!!! Reminding me to post a challenge!! I remember now!! OK, I'll think of something and post it after it gets dark here, in a couple of hours. Thanks for the reminder! ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Okay. After dark, so I'll post the next challenge. Trying to make it as fair as possible, so I'm picking a widely distributed bird, Northern Mockingbird. BUT, to make it a bit more difficult, since almost anyone in the lower 48 can find a Mockingbird, let's make it more specific as TBN did. So, the challenge is to get a photo of a Northern Mockingbird in an evergreen tree, e.g., pine, cedar, etc. Good luck everyone!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with either putting a time limit on each challenge or letting it run till someone wins. I'm fine with it either way. But I'll leave it up to TBN.

akandula Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I took this photo on Wednesday, just two days before @Bird Brain posted his challenge. So close. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful shot! It's a shame you took it before the challenge was posted. But, alas, as the old saying goes, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!!! ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
