Travel Challenge Answer October 2009

Filed under: Travel Challenge by Erin on 10/22/2009

We’re not terribly surprised that this month’s challenge didn’t have a winner. Not only was it a low-light picture but we had a hard time figuring out the identity of the little bird among the rocks.

There were two obstacles in ID-ing this bird, first it was a young bird that did not yet have its [...]
