There is also what sort of looks like a bird cut in half on the far right edge at the top of the line of mussels but I don’t think that can be counted……….too hard to tell what that is. I’m also not 100% sure of the bird in the middle with its head turned away and bent over toward the back……..it seems to have the large bill of a Wilson’s so I’m calling it a Wilson’s. That was fun.

Couldn’t do that so I counted left to right then right to left…over and over and over again. (Counting top to bottom drove me crazy.) Finally, I agree with me that there are 25. haha Anyway if you took off the 1.4X, couldn’t you try AF? At first I thought it was just debris. Great example of nature’s camoflage.
