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.
