It’s impressive that she was on-hand for so many of the game’s rarities: the Ring-necked Pheasant, the American Crow, the Red-tailed Hawk, Hooded Oriole, Lazuli Bunting; if there was a rare bird spotted, it’s a good bet that she got a shot of it.

Congratulations, kryptonkay! 🙂

    Thanks elanus, I was out of work at the time the game first started so I was watching the camera alot. I was hooked from day 1 and had so much fun with the birds and players. I really didn’t know much about the real names of the birds so with everyones help I learned so much. Now when I walk with my Mom I say “oh there’s a chestnut back chickadee!” or “look at that housefinch” Thank-you everyone for your help. Miss you all!
