"Imperial"
An Eva contribution. She didn't put her name on the pic today because the object of her photography was not actually taking pics but rather bird cataloging. She got herself a fancy Nat'l Geographic Bird Guide and a handy-dandy check list of birds in AZ. So she went out this morning and decided to snap some pics, but soon realized it's way harder to match pic's to drawings...I mean there are a million finches in AZ...Spotting the difference between a perfectly drawn illustration and a real bird is a fools errand! Which is why I only plan to take pic's of highly common birds. The exchange would go something like this.
Eva: What bird is that...let's look in my field guide!
Me: It's a pigeon...look on page 43, yes the gray one! (end of story!)
Eva: Cooool! let's see what else you took!
Me: A chicken, a Parakeet, and one bad-ass Dodo.
Eva: Wow! You're amazing! let's look for the birds I took pic's of.
Me: Ok (no sarcasm in tone)
Eva: Ok I can't tell from the pic...this finch has a yellow streak here mine is there, the beak is slightly red....
2 hrs later and after having made no considerable progress as to the type of finch Eva will have finally given up...I on the other hand have successfully spotted 50+ Gray Pigeons located on page 43.
"Some Finch"
The highly debated finch above. Android Phones have an app now where you can take pics of anything...and it'll do an internet image search and tell you what it is. Next internet Meme...all pic's of poop will be tagged Glenn Beck!
