    Birds of Nebraska

    On a related note, quite possibly the oddest football team I’ve ever heard of is the Orting, WA Cardinals. WTH? Unless you’re a worm, cardinals probably don’t strike fear in your heart like lions and tigers and bears. Also, those kids have quite possibly never seen one, as we have none.

    Birds of Nebraska

    Cardinals are a bit of a sore point for me. I love them, such wonderful colors, really brightened up a winter day. They’re also quite common and very wide spread. Easy to find almost anywhere. Almost. For whatever reason, they avoid the Pacific Northwest. I have to make do with Stellars and...

    About that "Pacific Northwest" bit...

    Yes, we try and keep things organized. I don't go out of my way to look for that stuff, but if I happen to read stuff and notice, I'll fix it. In that case, I was guessing it went something like this "Oh, Bob moved my post to the bird category... Wait, we have a bird category now? Cool!" :)

    Birds of Nebraska

    My son was in Great Falls, MT for a few years and I was surprised to find the Missouri River there. I knew the water flowed east on that side, just didn’t realize how far west they called it the Missouri.

    Hello and welcome to the forum! I’m pretty sure you’re one of the folks from railroadforums, nice to see you visit this place as well. Looking forward to seeing some of your work, and tell your nephew I said hello.

    Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why you're not as good a photographer as you think you are

    I always try to improve, but I'm not as good at deleting less than stellar work as I should be.

    FAQ - Posting Location Info

    Birders in general are getting a lot more tight lipped and that's fine. Again, you have a couple options. You can post the photo and give only vague location info, or none at all for that matter. You can also choose to wait a few months before posting, knowing the bird will be long gone by then...

    FAQ - Posting Location Info

    How much location info should you post? This can be a tricky subject among photographers. Some are happy to share every location they've found, while others are more protective of "their" spots. Many of us learned about our favorite locations from others, and wish to "pay it forward" to the next...

    “Iconic” photos needed.

    Working on emphasizing the photo guide part of the site and have an idea. I need a bit of help though. Looking for a photo that’s obviously in the following states: Alaska BC Idaho Montana I also need your permission to use and edit the image. I only need one of each, but you can post a...

    Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why you're not as good a photographer as you think you are

    Yep, nothing like going back in time. Some stuff is still good, sometimes you find some gems, but far more often than I’d like I find myself going “I thought that was good?” Keep in mind, that’s not a bad thing. Without some self confidence you’d give up in disgust! So just because you didn’t...

    Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why you're not as good a photographer as you think you are

    I prefer this version, LOL. I think it's more accurate than you might believe, at least for some people. (Us old farts started with FILM, and our damn phones didn't even have buttons, let alone a camera)

    Forum Notification E-mails and how to stop them.

    The new forum software sends out notifications of replies to threads you've posted in, or that you've chosen to mark as "watched". That can be really handy, especially for those threads you want to follow but get few replies. On the other hand, some topics can quickly get annoying. Here's how...

    About that "Pacific Northwest" bit...

    I am as well, there's certainly a lot of great subjects down there. In fact, the most recent daily photo post that I featured on the forum's FB page is a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. You can view it here...

    John from Northern California

    Welcome to the forum John. Since it's pretty obvious it's not a coincidence, I'll admit you're the reason I posted the "About that Pacific Northwest bit" topic. We welcome photographers from all over the world. Anyone is welcome to participate and join in. The vast majority of members are in the...

    About that "Pacific Northwest" bit...

    A question was asked about whether photo posted here have to be from the Pacific Northwest. The short answer? No, they do not. We are "Focused on the Pacific Northwest", but neither the photographers or the photos have to be from this region. We have chosen this niche to avoid being just...

    Canada Goose Courtship

    Nice stuff, you got some really good shots. They are quite territorial. I have a few that visit my back yard daily for the cracked corn buffet. It's like Tom and Jerry out there with them chasing one another around! They're downright mean.

    Really nice, love the eyes in that first shot!

    Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge 4-5-2018

    That's true. The main problem I have is that I get there at the wrong times. Morning and evening are best, mid day is a bit of a lull. But since the place is so far from where I live, by the time I get there it's usually mid day. I can stay later I suppose, but then it's a long drive late in the...

    Then there's his pal, good old #420. He grazes in "special" fields.

    Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge 4-5-2018

    I do that a lot. The first one is more of a scouting trip, and we don't stop unless there's a really good photo opp. We'll stop for something unusual, or a really good job, but common birds and common poses get passed by or have a fairly brief stop on the first round depending on what they are...
