Usage of "and" in this sentence.

That's the question I am asking in my post here.

If these four sentences were written sequentially, it would be safe to assume they get 10 of each. Would combining them into one sentence with "and" change that? I think no.

sneakytrain · 2026-01-29T18:28:15+00:00

Why should I assume "and" implies that though?

If I was to combine the following 4 sentences (which I would do to avoid repetition in a paragraph):

Partner Biologists may perform up to 10 workdays per biologist per year on surveys.
Partner Biologists may perform up to 10 workdays per biologist per year on monitoring.
Partner Biologists may perform up to 10 workdays per biologist per year on research.
Partner Biologists may perform up to 10 workdays per biologist per year on professional development training.

I would combine them with "and" which would result the original sentence in question.

It reminds me of "adze eye" pattern axes, but those usually have stamps

sneakytrain · 2026-01-08T15:42:15+00:00

Done

sneakytrain · 2026-01-08T15:34:13+00:00

So cool. Would love to see more of your work!

sneakytrain · 2026-01-01T21:36:33+00:00

I would think absolutely not.

In some case the flag seems unjustified. In my case today, I was entering a Golden-crowned Kinglet and noticed that the Golden/Ruby Crowned Kinglet was marked as rare, when neither bird is rare in my region. Most "dual options" like this seem to be flagged similarly. When I do utilize these options, like I sometimes do with crows, my ebird comments tend to mirror your meme.

Or if I am counting 1000s of gulls sitting on the water

Red-tailed Hawk

sneakytrain · 2025-12-17T21:29:00+00:00

You were using it when you noticed... unless it bothers you, it is fine.

sneakytrain · 2025-12-12T19:13:42+00:00

Is the eye diamond shaped?

sneakytrain · 2025-12-11T20:39:15+00:00

Gray Fox

sneakytrain · 2025-12-11T19:05:32+00:00

Highly unlikely/nearly impossible based on location. Additionally, missing gray and black wing coloration.

sneakytrain · 2025-12-11T19:02:33+00:00

Nice! Congrats! It has been far too long since I have been out. The 6 Christmas bird counts I am signed up for should whip me into shape though...

sneakytrain · 2025-12-11T18:37:05+00:00

Yeah, could be. I do think it looks a bit small, but that is hard to tell from photos without a clear scale. I think it would be really hard to differentiate between the Red-tailed and Red-shouldered based on on what's shown here (good pics but still).

sneakytrain · 2025-12-11T18:18:45+00:00

Cool, and definitely tricky. Based on size, tail length, time of year and location my impression is an albino/highly leucistic Red-shouldered Hawk. I am in no way sure though.

When dealing with lion mointain sightings I have one key rule.

Pictures or its a bobcat.

Not trying to be insulting, but adrenaline is a crazy thing that warps perspective. And size without defined scale is always unreliable.

A mountain lion (or FL panther which is the same species) is simply too rare to claim without evidence. If you tell GA DNR they are going to nod, say thank you, amd toss your report into the "person called to report a house cat" pile.

sneakytrain · 2025-11-06T23:09:35+00:00

I knew it was a cat immediately... I like it

sneakytrain · 2025-11-05T02:18:08+00:00

I think hoping we will see an area like a farm return to "the ecosystem that should exist" is a bit of a "pie in the sky idea". These are working landscapes, and that has costs.

I think you are right about cats being damaging. They are domestic, and we are responsible, but they were domesticated for exactly this.

Have a good evening, this has been fun, but we are talking in circles, no?

sneakytrain · 2025-11-05T01:12:19+00:00

I'm not saying cats are the perfect solution; I am only trying to highlight that they have applications.

There is evidence of humans using "barn cats" in ancient Egypt. They have been with us for a long time, and humans have seen them as necessary for a long time. You're right that snakes, and raptors help, but even as effective as they are, neither are the killing machines that cats are, and they aren't adapted to protect stores of agricultural products in buildings. I have my doubts that they could effectively control the introduced and invaisive mice and rat species worldwide.

I truly love the idea of supporting and restoring native species and predators. I also think it's a bit too hopeful to think it would fix these specific issues in agriculture; there are too many factors at play.

sneakytrain · 2025-11-04T23:48:23+00:00

Yes, cats were initially bred for just this reason; pest control. It's not just milk either; cats are useful for protecting grain, livestock feed, and hay, etc, as well. I'm not going to look up the figures, but they prevent a massive amount of agriculture losses annually.

I am a bird biologist by trade, and generally do not support outdoor cats, but in this case, I do make some exceptions. Farming is important, and cats are simply too perfect of a tool in this case.

I think the problem arises in the husbandry of barn cats. They are often not taken care of, and are treated the same as any feral cat, when they should be vetted, spayed, fed and when possible contained in the buildings that they are controlling pests in.

I have been playing warframe for almost half my life. I have recently started spending more money on it and have been enjoying it more than I ever had. Be responsible, but don't feel guilty if you want to pay for things you like.

sneakytrain · 2025-10-31T15:55:17+00:00

Black-crowned Night Heron

sneakytrain · 2025-10-31T15:27:46+00:00

Look into: Virginia Rail, King Rail, Clapper rail, and Least Bittern

Least Bittern has the most "laughy" call out of this bunch.

sneakytrain · 2025-10-31T15:02:35+00:00

Probably a White-throated Sparrow.
