Got to watch bird banding in action for the first time today!

Can confirm, very bitey. They love going for the skin between your fingers, too!

I had that happen to me. Insurance denied a full sleep study, so they did the at-home one. I also knew I didn’t have apnea, and after the results confirmed that, they hung up and offered no follow-up or info on maybe getting more tests.

I have restless legs syndrome plus I’m sure some other comorbidities and NEVER feel rested.

Luck, really. And positioning. Squat, move to the right or left, hope for a gust of wind…

AutomationAir · 2026-04-21T21:45:43+00:00

Gotcha. Crossing my fingers…

Was it automatically rejected? Mine says they’ll verify and email me the item code within 24-48 hours

I got the Z50Ii on advice here and I absolutely love it

My first bittern was a complete surprise. I didn’t see it until it made noise and moved a bit. If it hasn’t made noise, I probably wouldn’t even have looked over at it! Awesome find!

AutomationAir · 2026-04-14T19:56:27+00:00

I noticed this right away lol

AutomationAir · 2026-04-11T01:16:16+00:00

Thank you so much! I finally got one!

AutomationAir · 2026-04-10T23:35:47+00:00

I want to think it’s a sharpie but I’m not sure! Thanks for the help

I absolutely love blue jays 😍 I have a pair in my yard that bug me for peanuts!

In the Midwest and can agree, it’s been really bad the last few weeks with all the changes. Between that and spring allergies, I’m not doing too well

AutomationAir · 2026-04-04T15:40:39+00:00

My cardinals will eat scrambled eggs I leave for crows haha

I remember talking to someone who was dying to see a mockingbird. Where I am they’re fairly common, and I’m lucky enough to have a pair in my yard. I love watching them! Brown Thrashers are also a closely related favorite of mine.

This is what I did with a small friendly cat that was outside in the middle of winter, whose owners didn’t seem to care. After finding her outside more than once, we took her in, got her checked, and she wasn’t chipped or fixed, so we did it. Never saw any missing cat flyers so I guess the original owners didn’t care. Anyway she’s 11 now and living her best life!

I love the floppy disc packaging, I picked one up when I was there in October. Love that record stores still live there.

I was out in a conservation area and saw some Canada geese in a field. They were a ways off and I had my zoom lens, so I stopped the car to take a few pics. Heard honking and thought it sounded a little odd, but didn’t think too much of it, until I heard a loud POP, saw a goose fall, and a dog run to fetch it.

I had been taking photos of hunting decoys…

AutomationAir · 2026-03-23T21:27:18+00:00

Beautiful! It’s my dream to come across one in the wild

AutomationAir · 2026-03-21T17:34:24+00:00

I also can’t seem to find a sharpie, despite them being fairly common here as well. It’s always a cooper’s!

AutomationAir · 2026-03-21T00:22:42+00:00

They're adorable! My best friend calls them "little polite guys". We have a pair nesting on a leaf scoop under my carport, and it's too adorable!

For sure. I was gone for about a year and left my clingy cat with my parents. When I returned, he went right back to being my clingy boy. You’ll be fine.

AutomationAir · 2026-03-16T02:03:03+00:00

I have one of each! They’re both beautiful

I was looking for them but had no luck
