It took lots of pestering question asking in a local FB bird group before I could identify most of the birds I've seen flying around the yard for years. I even recall a cringe-worthy moment of sharing a photo that I thought was a hawk sitting in a tree... only to discover it was a tiny little Junco...😂
Oh yes, I would agree to that. Especially dark birds (like crows) or extremely vibrant birds (like cardinals). Getting my camera to see what I see can be SO frustrating at times!
And thanks, @learning-tarot!
