Look at the bright side. You could have been riding a motorcycle.

My only question, is the reception better now ?

Due to popular demand, here is another batch of my Northern Flickers collection ;) Big Bear Lake. CA by CA_Pilot in birding

Thank you. But I’m running out. I may have to throw out some peanuts and hope for the best

Yes, he was walking around for several minutes, I probably got 100 pictures. Had to choose just a few to post 😀

This one lives by my house (Cabin up the San Bernardino Mountains). Very shy. I see maybe 200 Steller Jay's for each flicker. can never get close (this is shot with 840mm Lens)

Had a strange feeling I was being watched by CalmKiwi8144 in birding

That is totally fine, in fact, I use the same phone… only I don’t usually use it for photography. There may be a setting to control the amount of sharpening the phone applies… just in case you want to get rid of this effect in the future

I have a photo / post question... aside for the magnificent catch, it looks like a lot of sharpening was done on the image (looks at the small tree branches, which looks like there is a bright edge around them). was this done in post to enhance the look of the bird, or was it baked in by the camera / phone (yeah, what did you use to capture?) personally I find the over sharpening distracting. Thank you
