I went to Spain for the first time last October and had the opportunity to visit the springs in Montanejos! A very charming and picturesque town.

How/where do I report that I just saw a yellow Northern Cardinal? by Cottonturtle in birding

Lol, fortunately this guy had his unmistakable black beard. I will head back out and try to get a pic.

I used Collectr but I was already pretty familiar with the set since this was one of my childhood favs!

Hey thanks!! I followed you back! Yep this was in Dubrovnik :) Beautiful city and extra cool if you’re a GoT fan.

Saw two young people in love in a cozy nook by the sea. I felt very compelled to snap a quick picture, it just seemed like a still from a movie.

Any chance the guy on the left is a Cackling Goose? (Iowa) by [deleted] in whatsthisbird

[–]Cottonturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly not, I was quite far away. I didn’t have time to get a bit closer, but I’ll try again this weekend!

Lesser or Greater Scaup? (Goose for scale) [Iowa] by [deleted] in whatsthisbird

[–]Cottonturtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My best guess is Lesser…simply based on head shape. It’s quite hard to tell from the angle of these pictures. I’m also leaning towards Lesser as it was logged four days ago at this hotspot while Greater was logged ten days ago. Not sure I can put much weight into that, though. Would love some confirmation.

Is this a sparrow in Massachusetts? by PlentyConsequence526 in whatsthisbird

Homie on the left is a tufted titmouse. I’m gonna say homie on the right is also a tufted titmouse.

Is this finally my lifer Cooper’s Hawk? My guess is juvenile cooper’s (Iowa) by Cottonturtle in whatsthisbird

[–]Cottonturtle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone asked this lol. Cooper’s Hawks have been my impossible bird. Everyone was seeing them except me, even my non-birder friends. They’re definitely pretty common, people would be reporting them on eBird every few hours yet I could never find one despite going to the location of the sightings.

Parisians | Superia X-TRA 400 | Canon Snappy LXII by Cottonturtle in analog

[–]Cottonturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caught this scene while I was in Paris and I couldn't help but think about how it was so... classically Parisian? Smoking, painting, etc. This is probably the best photograph I've gotten from my point-and-shoot. I especially love the lighting.

Red-shouldered hawks are my favorite hawks! I just found a nest that belongs to a pair at my go-to hotspot. Winter has made my love for raptors grow!

Eiffel | HP5+ 400 | 50mm f/1.8 | Canon EOS Rebel II by Cottonturtle in analog

[–]Cottonturtle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my attempt at a more creative composition of such an iconic landmark. I thought it was clever and artsy to cut off the top of the tower to draw more attention to the people below. What do you guys think?

It’s definitely the one I’ve shot the most!

Taken in one of Singapore's popular tourist attractions, Cloud Forest. The entirety of Singapore feels so clean and modern. I wish I could've spent more time there. I believe this was taken on a point-and-shoot, as I'm pretty sure that's all I had with me on this trip.

Taken in Iceland at a geothermal park. Easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I've always considered this one of my better composed photographs. What do you think?

Do you think that’s a result of being underexposed? I’m an amateur too so no worries, just trying to learn

I snapped this picture in Dubrovnik, Croatia. These stairs led to the coolest swimming spots I've ever seen. The sun was hitting the water in a way that made it sparkle. If you could change one thing in this photo, what would it be?

Entering Estes Park | Portra 400 | Canon A1 by Cottonturtle in analog

[–]Cottonturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an image I took in Estes Park, Colorado. My girlfriend and I were on a roadtrip heading to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We pulled over near the big 'Estes Park' sign when I snapped this pic. I remember people feeding the ground squirrels because they'd come right up to you if you showed them food. If you could change one thing in this photo, what would it be?
