Non Birding Bill Told Me To Try The Hydra App

Non Birding Bill has been raving about a photography app called Hydra. When you click to take a photo the app takes up to 60 images and then merges them into a single high-quality picture. He said it would be great for birding. Heres' what I got:

I think this is supposed to be a hairy woodpecker.

So, Hydra, great for selfies...not so much for birds who constantly move.

Maybe if you are into some surreal photos of birds this might be the app for you.
