I too am finding joy in using Steemit as my place to document my birding experience. I had used a private blog previously, but it was really an online place to post my notes-to-self as nobody looked at

Nice photo. I know this is off topic, but we "talked" on a post by @katysavage I too am finding joy in using Steemit as my place to document my birding experience. I had used a private blog

Thanks for the detailed overview. I too am finding joy in using Steemit as my place to document my birding experience. I had used a private blog previously, but it was really an online place to post my

I'm sure you know, but this is for the rest of your readers. Albatrosses have the ability to "lock" their wings in position, so that they don't need to use muscle power to hold their wings stiffly,

Great scenery and big sedentary animals make it pretty easy. What is your photographic training/experience? I'm pretty self taught, I took a basic course through the local Audubon society, but otherwise

AMRO are lots of people's favorites, in part because they often nest in bushes or trees in our yards. I caught a robin yesterday in some sort of courtship display. He kept fanning his tail and strutting

Very nice photography. It looks like you have figured out how to use photography on Steemit really well. Congratulations.

For your information, there are many species of gulls, none called "seagulls" except by non-birders. That said a great photo of this gull. Can you tell us where the photo was taken? I'm trying
