[Birdingcraft]

wheres the hint?

 

[birderbf]

wheres the hint?

A private hint Patrick - sent to your PM box. Only difference is that a hint-receiver is neglected 2 points off the set score for guessing the photograph correctly.

 

[Birdingcraft]

OK- I will sacrifice those two points for this photo. May I please have a hint?

 

[Storm-Petrel]

Birderbf Gets it right! 13 more points for him. Birdingcraft, if someone needs a hint, they just ask for it and ill PM it to them. If the hinted person gets it right, then theyll get 2 points taken off.

This photo was taken by me at Santa Ana NWR in the Rio Grande Valley. Just a tip to anyone else who goes down there: dont forget bug-spray!!! I learned the hard way...

here are the points so far:

32 birderbf
26 Brent
22 Mabel

What happens if you happen to be going through your photos in 50 years and you come across this one? I hope you give it a name like: Great and Snowy Egrets, Anhinga, Double-crested and Neotropic Cormorants and a Least Grebe at Santa Ana NWR.jpg I don't really understand why people put things like GREG1_SANWR_7.1.07.jpg when you can just spell it out and save yourself a whole lot of confusion later!!

 

[birderbf]

By the way, where was the Double-crested Cormorant?!?

 

[Storm-Petrel]

lol birderbf! theyre all double crested except 2 tinier neotropics toward the right side in the tree

 

[birderbf]

lol birderbf! theyre all double crested except 2 tinier neotropics toward the right side in the tree

Hmmm I think I understand now - I see two that look Double-crested too me, and the far top right is the only Neotropic I can see.

Hey I aged the Anhingas - no extra point? |=(|

 

[Storm-Petrel]

okay, 1 extra point. but theres no male...

 

[birderbf]

okay, 1 extra point. but theres no male...

I thought the darkest bird on the left and the one below and to the right of it, half-hidden behind a branch were male Anhingas, but whatever!

 

[Storm-Petrel]

[Storm-Petrel]
