Saffron (COSTA RICA SUMMER!!!!)

Hello oomfs. My college is sending me to costa rica to do wildlife photography, and we need to recoup some of the costs to be able to continue to support the program in the coming years. Any amount helps! groupfund.us/s/gtgcYyk

all of you are full of hubris.

Hypothetical: You must choose one continent, you the must, unarmed, 1v1 every bird. Which continent do you choose

freaky ass heron

guy who totally isnt gonna impale you on a spike

@wildnewyorkshow only f8 when fully extended BUT i weighs like NOTHING which is why i love

@Saffron_Moth What’s the f stop on that one?

if canon doesn’t lock in within the next 5 years i can fully see myself switching to sony. wdym 66 megapixel full frame and a constant f4.6 lens. who did you sacrifice to make that

@wildnewyorkshow if canon comes out with a similar full frame in the next few years i’ll probably stay (i love the 100-400mm i little too much)

@Saffron_Moth My first camera was a gifted dslr canon and I’ve been upgrading bit by bit but if I had instead saved all that money I could simply switch, fool that I am

@wildnewyorkshow right???? like when i have an extra 8k laying around, sony might have it lmao

@Saffron_Moth Ok I’ve been having the same thought. Sony also elite with low light videography

they changed my flight time for costa rica from 6am to 4pm. i’m so happy my ass was not ready to wake up that early

me and who

@Shrikey bird of horrific misIDing. i’ve only seen greater so i’d 10000% misID a lesser

@Saffron_Moth is it a greater or lesser yellowlegs?

i want to answer questions so it’s time for: guy who looks at birds Q&A

i’ll do it birdle. don’t think i won’t

Wood i pecker? i barely know ‘er!

@TemmieMew @Hakaka30 it simply don’t count unless i get a photo. and i do use eBird but purely for hotspots

@Saffron_Moth @Hakaka30 what do you do when you don’t get a picture! how do you find out where birds are being seen near you!

i expect this number to easily double by the end of summer. this will be the birdingest summer of all time

“oooooh grackles aren’t purple” maaaaaaan what EVER

happy pride!!!

@Hakaka30 don’t tell the eBirders that i only use iNat

@Saffron_Moth what app is this?
