Portrait in Blue, Snow Goose, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 4, 2010
Here's a closer crop of the Snow Goose picture I put up yesterday
This picture is one of a sequence of 24 shots of this Snow Goose swimming to shore and climbing the bank. Sorting through that February evening's shoot I was set to toss the whole bunch but zoomed in to full size on a few first and found I had something pretty good on a couple of them with some major cropping.
I have a still closer zoom of this picture I'll put up tomorrow.

Observational Learning
[Learning by watching] is called observational learning. When it comes to evolutionary fears, as well as to many other areas of learning, animals and people learn by watching what other animals or people do, not by doing something themselves and learning from the consequences. I have the impression this lesson hasn't quite been absorbed by most educators. You read that hands-on learning is best, but that may not always be so. Obviously evolution has selected for strong observational learning in animals and in humans.
