On my post— On Fred; what is the gist of the post? What is the crux of the situation? You can put yourself standing next to me in that small group gathered around Fred. Or imagine yourself away from the group or looking downward into the group. What is Fred saying?
You are as a hawk watcher and have a clear observation of a bird in the sky, meaning the bird is at altitude of 100 or more feet. There is no obstruction of any background “noise” such as terrain features or textures competing for your attention. So the only background is the blue of the sky. The bird is about one-half mile from your position. You contemplate the bird is a Robin, even though the bird is not within a flock. You are using your 8X binos, and also have borrowed your friend’s 10x binos.
The question— how small is the Robin, with the 8X binos. Also, how small is the Robin with the 10X binos.
The answer to the first question. Fred is smarter than you!
The Robin question— the Robin is nine to eleven inches small!
Why am I the only one observing Goshawks in Texas? In chronological order— in Livingston, Rockport, Tyler, Kemah (Houston), Galveston, and Georgetown? Because I am smarter than you. All of the birders in Texas? Yes! But do not misunderstand— more later, on my next post.
