I didn't really have a chance with that last one either. They're quite uncommon here. I get very excited when I see a mockingbird anywhere!

I've lived in Ala, Fla, Ga, Wyoming, and Calif, and I've been in all but 7 of the 50 States. Thought I had seen them everywhere!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Anyone else think that 'crow(s) on a roof' is going a bit long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyonabird Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 We have a crow family in our yard. Every time I try to take their pic, they scatter. They are very skittish. I will keep stalking them... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Crow lit on the roof across the street, but flew just as I got outside with my camera! The word must be out among them not to get caught on a roof!! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyonabird Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Our crows keep being chased off by the colony of Common Grackles that are nesting in our yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Clem Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Why not do more then one challenge at a time. Maybe it wouldn't drag on so much for those who have no chance of seeing that bird in there area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be difficult to tell which challenges are still going and which ones are not. Like I said, we can end the current challenge if a lot of us are for it. I'm okay with ending this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerri Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 How about a Hawk on the ground? That should be doable for most ranges correct? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recall how far you were from this bird? I was quite a distance - maybe a hundred and fifty feet? He was on the ground when I first saw him eating something and as luck would have it as I watched he flew up to the nearby roof top. I zoom in on my phone as much as possible and take the photo. Then when you open the photo up on your phone you can zoom in again and I take a screen shot of the extra zoomed in photo. Does that make sense. I will post the original photo in a second and then you can see how much it can zoom in from your phone gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerri Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just a reminder we are still looking for a winning photo of a hawk on the ground taken on 4/16 or later. I'll give it a another day or so and if we still have no winner we can choose another challenge. Thanks. Happy Hunting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
