I liked how this crow was just hanging out with a nice view in the background, so I thought this might give a good photo.

American crow, seen yesterday in Boulder, CO, USA.

    I’d wager 90% of birding identification activity consists of seeing/hearing the same common birds for the umpteenth time from distances too far to easily photograph. That farmer in the meme would call it “honest work.” And he’s probably looking at crows, too.

      Definitely. I was so happy to hear a red-winged blackbird earlier this week. Couldn’t get a good photo of it, but I still got home feeling happy about it somehow. As he would phrase it, “it ain’t much, but it’s honest work”.
