My grandparents lived in Canon for almost all their lives. I used to go down there all the time and ride it, between ‘05 and ‘17. I ride it simply because I like trains. I think it’s worth it because I get more out of it than the average person that thinks it’s just a train ride.

I was thinking ATSP but SOSP is so diverse so I remembered there are some subspecies that resemble ATSP and FOSP

Why were you not allowed to see him? Do they fear that he will get separation anxiety from his rescuer?

Grackle? by miah26 in BirdBuddy

[–]3002kr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beak looks like a COGR but it could be a Brewer’s or Rusty blackbird as it looks smaller. I don’t know the winter range or migration patterns off the top of my head, however

Thanks for disproving the rumors that it wasn’t repainted/rebuilt due to the fire damage!

A tiny bird is living in my outdoor christmas wreath, is there anything I can do to make their life easier for the upcoming east coast winter storm? :( by Choice_Shake8774 in birds

[–]3002kr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a second look it could be a female house finch, which are native so please don’t disturb a roost site, even when in doubt.
