I would be pleased that apparently I've successfully helped my technophobic mom feel confident buying prints of my bird photos off #SmugMug, except that now when I show her a fresh bird photo she likes, she says "Post it for purchase!" I've already got such a photo backlog, and now I literally have my mom nagging me to do my 'homework'!

(Including red-shouldered hawk photo she said this about as Bird Tax.)

A shot of a flying hawk from below, with bright blue cloudless sky behind and sunshine lighting up its spread wings and fanned tail. It's an immature California red-shouldered hawk, with high contrast barred flight geathers and very streaky underparts. the one eye we can see has caught a warm gleam of sunshine even though the face is in shade.
