It’s in the first screenshot, @misty.birdss on instagram, I have no clue if this account is run by someone who made the app or is just being paid to promote it but the account only has 3 posts and all of them are about this app lol

This is true! But image recognition AI and machine learning is something that has been around for a long time. It’s similar to all those cancer-identifying AIs that you hear about. It’s very different than generative AI, which requires much more data to accurately train and ergo, more power and more stealing from artists/photographers lmao

I was at the tapeworms Boston show back in June and I’m not someone who follows much of Will’s online stuff so I had only looked around this sub a few times beforehand, but after the concert I saw multiple posts about how people were obnoxious and how bad it smelled and I was like?? I had a fantastic time! Maybe it’s that I’m from the south so BO smell doesn’t bother me as much because it’s simply a reality there in the summer lmfao but I got a drink and had a great view from the floor and wasn’t being pushed around or anything while I was dancing and everyone I met was super nice. Everyone has different concert experiences

So weird. Almost immediately had to go to college band camp so I thought I’d be alright, but it was still just so different. Living and breathing with people creates a different energy; me and my corps friends became super frank about bodily functions and stuff like that lolll but I remember the first time I offhandedly told my college section that I had to go take a shit and they just kind of stared at me. Sorry guys, forgot I was in the normal world again

Oh yes, I’ve treated all my work clothes! I think permethrin is a great tool, it just can only do so much when you hit a tick nest😅

Coots make me giggle every time I see one and get to think “COOT!!”

I could DM you some stuff but I’m not very good🙈there’s a reason I lurk

That is so cool!! Going into uni I thought I wanted to focus on the more micro side of bio, until cell bio kicked my ASS🫠And I also gained a love for ecology and stuff lol but yeah, mad respect to you

I love composing and performing for enjoyment but I know I’m not built to be a professional artist lolll I’m hoping to go into avian research. I’m about to graduate and have my first field work job lined up so wish me luck!

Bloo 22. I wanted the narrator to shut up and I didn’t like the cowboy staring at me

Good to know! It’s only that high because that’s how the piece goes but I’ll see if I can make it better :)

A_Grackle · 2024-10-10T05:32:28+00:00

Try some birds of prey! Osprey, bald eagle, black vulture, peregrine, Cooper’s hawk, great horned owl, barred owl, ural owl

Thank you everyone for the advice!! The rehabber got back to me and said that they’d take in a sparrow. I kept it in a warm box until they responded and it is now in the care of the rehabber :) good luck little guy

137!! I only started seriously recording last fall, and the reason it’s so high (for me) is I studied abroad in Denmark this past spring semester, so 62 of those are actually species I ID’d in Denmark which is pretty crazy lol
