I love red-winged blackbirds, but I was hoping to see something else as well today (not Canada Geese and American Robins). I actually photographed an osprey fishing too, but damn, those birds are fast!
Shot today in Boulder, CO, USA

Ha! I didn’t realize this was a thing! I just assumed I was the worst birder in existence. I’m so glad to feel a little less alone. 🤣
It started out as trying to photograph new species that I didn’t find before (gotta catch 'em all).
After a while I accepted some are less common to see, and I shifted to trying to get better photos or different positions of familiar birds to improve my skills.
I think either approach works, whichever makes you happy with the hobby.
Don’t get many of them in Australia! I mean, they definitely exist, but the majority are anything but brown!
One of the reasons I really like seeing your posts is that the birds are so exotic to me!
