Birds are such majestic creatures. We love to hear them chirp from the treetops and watch them soar through the sky. And since we love marveling at their beauty, sometimes we want to snap a pic when we spot a rare feathered friend. It can be a bit tricky, though, to capture them in photographs.
For all the bird fanatics who are amateur photogs, “Crab Bird Photography” was born. This Facebook group “is dedicated to those photos that aren't up to scratch", welcoming pics that come out blurry, shots where something got in the way, photos of birds looking goofy, over or underexposed pics, etc. As long as the photo has a bird in it and didn’t turn out too great, it can be shared here for the other 104k members to enjoy. We’ve compiled all of our favorite Crab Bird Photography posts for you to take a gander at, so be sure to upvote the ones that you think should be featured in National Geographic. (Or perhaps National Geo-crab-ic…) Keep reading to also find an interview with Dr. Kathi Borgmann, Communications Coordinator of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
