A few weeks ago at the mouth of Chambers Creek in Steilacoom I saw all three Merganzers from one spot, but alas, I had to rotate the scope to do it. Couldn't get them to crowd together!

I guess this is my call since I brought it up, recently anyway . . . so I'd
definitely say bino views are fair game.

I think most would agree in the interest of variety and opportunity to share
intriguing combinations.

Dear Tweeters,

Do binocular views count (instead of the narrower scope view)?

How about subspecies?

One time at Fir Island there were three Northern Flickers. The one on the
left was a Red-shafted. The one on the right was a Yellow-shafted. The one
in the middle? An intergrade! Each was perched in his own little tree, all
in a straight line. Couldn't get them all in the scope at the same time,
though.
