Endured the Rain for the Shot

Mike Warner

About time we found the Yellow-breasted Pipit it started to rain again pretty hard.  I snapped a couple of pictures and then quickly returned back through a barbed-wire fence to the van.  When I entered my pictures into our eBird checklist I noted that only 350 images of this bird were in the database, which is a very low number (compared to a common bird like the American Robin which has over 375,000 images).  I like to feel some of my pictures, particularly of the less-seen birds, are helpful to scientists studying the species from afar.
