@Albatrossity@lor.sh Years ago I worked at a visitor-friendly preserve in AZ. We had a dark morph often perched on a utility pole near the visitor center. One busy Spring morning this one guy just wouldn't believe it was a Redtail. After a couple attempts I just left him and went to talk to other people. After about 5 minutes a roar of laughter from his friends.
@Albatrossity@lor.sh Exactly. He quietly apologized. I'm no expert but I'd seen that bird almost every day for weeks.
