My most popular photo of 2022 was something I almost didn’t post.  Technically, from a photographer’s standpoint, it is not as good a photo of a bird as I usually post.  But I have learned that my followers would rather see a photo of one of my common birds doing something birdy than a perfectly posed picture of a rare warbler.
