How to segregate the photos e.g., birds feeding, hunting, nesting, flying, courting was an issue until remembered the collections function in Lightroom. Sorting and curating is now much, much quicker.
I found out that my area is a stop along the way during the winter spring migration of the sandhill. Each year in March the small town near the area holds a festival so getting to the wildlife area is a nightmare. So I went there days prior and there were only 2 photographers and 17,000 Sandhills.
