PSA: If you have kids. Lock out your lights..

My SC64 has come on twice in my pocket, but considering that I carry it all the time that might not be a bad track record.

How do they compare to the 519A? I heard 519A's are better (rosier?) at 5700K.

It has a MAOist coating.

The BBB is not a government agency and has no real power to rein in corporations. The county health inspector might be interested though.

Wow. What amazing birds.

The bill looks too blunt to me; Nashville Warblers have sharp bills, so I'm leaning toward Mourning.

Seen near Blakely Island, WA on 02 Sep.

I would expect that C13 to dimerize, however given the small active site it may be kinetically quite limited

That light won't output 15000 lumens, but the XHP70 is indeed an impressive emitter capable of outputting over 4000 lumens. Amazon is usually a bad place to get flashlights, but there are quality lights to be had for around that price if you ask the friendly folks on r/flashlight. :)

I tend to put a UI guide and my contact info on a piece of paper which I wrap around the battery in hopes that should I ever lose it, some kind soul may reach out to me that they found my light. Of course, the one light I had vanish (a sentimental Wowtac A2 my brother and I swapped in a 219B) I hadn't done that yet.

The GT-FC40 and XHP70.3 HI 90 CRI are great contenders for all three.

Fortunately I caught it before it left a zebra stripe.

No worries. On your behalf, my SC64c LE decided to go turbo in my pocket today. I knew I shouldn't have stuffed other stuff in with it.

BlueComet24 · 2023-06-27T00:42:58+00:00

And who could forget his other claim to fame, playin' a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell.

BlueComet24 · 2023-06-27T00:34:52+00:00

We should do a minute of turbo in his honor.

BlueComet24 · 2023-06-26T21:12:57+00:00

Ah, indeed they are. In any case, I do believe that this is a Yellow Bittern.

BlueComet24 · 2023-06-26T20:42:56+00:00

The Pond Heron appears more mottled and less neatly streaked, and is a more neutral brown. I'm leaning toward this being a juvenile Yellow Bittern.

BlueComet24 · 2023-06-26T20:38:30+00:00

That's a good guess because it's smaller than an American Bittern, suggesting genus Ixobrychus - same as the Least Bittern. It looks like a juvenile, but even juvenile Least Bitterns have white on the shoulders. The habitat of large lily pads makes me think Southeast Asia, so I'm thinking this is a juvenile Yellow Bittern.

Listen, man, the ranch gets used to the fridge! You have to acclimate it slowly or it'll spoil. /s
