Simple solution. Tie a different coloured ribbon on each one!

You're welcome.

For those thinking "you should pull back a bit and give the top and bottom birds some space," you're not wrong. But with wildlife photography, sometimes you have to take what you're given. Here, I had a fixed focal length lens & no room to back further away, so this is what I crammed into the frame.

Two mature Bald Eagles with white head and tail and brown body and wings are perching on an evergreen tree, with a clear blue sky behind them. One eagle is at the top of the tree and the other is on a branch a few feet below.

On this #TalonTuesday we have a nesting pair of Bald Eagles taking a break from making babies on a beautiful winter day. Their nest is in the same tree, just below them.

What a beautiful bird. Hard to believe, but I've never heard of a pinon jay.

Oooh, I like!

A medium-sized black bird is standing behind a dark pile of wood chips and dirt with a bit of snow mixed in, such that only the top half or so of its body is visible. The crow's body is facing the camera but it has its head turned to the right for a profile view.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae (any bird of the corvid family) and this American Crow is here to show us how elegant a corvid can be.

I can already see the NIMBYs and BANANAs lining up to [I'm sorry for this] torpedo this opportunity.

That was very obliging of them to sit there patiently until the light improved. :)

One of my cameras does it automatically, but that's because it has an internal GPS receiver and gets its time signal from that. The other ones require manual intervention.

A mostly brown and white goose with black neck and head with a white throat is swimming from right to left with a blurred background. The goose has its bill open and you can just see its pink little tongue.

Looking forward to the return of our waterfowl once the ice melts out of the lakes and rivers. Here's a Canada Goose from last spring.

Thanks!

A sparrow-sized bird with mostly grey and mottled brown plumage with a reddish cap on its head and pinking colouring on its sides and breast is hanging upside down from a slender leafless tree branch with a brown acorn-like seed pod (a caktin) at its feet.

1. Learn Daryll Marie's full name.
2. Laugh maniacally.
3. ???
4. Profit.

(Congratulations, btw)

Thanks for the reminder!

You mean an audience of 2-3 thousand people and 70,000 bots and onlyfans profiles? :)

Hopefully a few folks saw it and followed along for more of your awesome photos.

Congratulations, Steven! Spectacular photo!

😂

He/She/They looks like real doozy!

Grrr. If one had an Edit button available to one, one might use said Edit button to change the previous post to say:

"I don't know whether to be grateful or offended. ;)"

What a perfect name for an alligator!

I know whether to be grateful or offended. ;)

Thanks Susan!

Thank you, Mark!
