NotaBird

Group birding is peopled with folks peering at things in trees, only to announce, "it's notabiird."

It might be a nest of web spinning caterpillars or an errant plastic bag, dead leaves, the tip of a moldering snag, squirrel, opening showing a bit of sky, or any number of other foolers, but simply, notabird. 

Here are a few notabird photos I have taken on recent field trips.
