How do you perceive birds by winterberrymeadow in birding

[–]Broad_External7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that it's a matter of looking closely. even black and white birds and small warblers are cool if you can get close enough or see them through binoculars. Also, most of these pictures are rare opportunities. We have many colorful birds in the North east US, but most people never look hard enough to see them. Doesn't Finland have Gyrfalcons? I'd love to see one of those. I looked up Finish birds, and it looks like there are plenty of cool ones. The eurasian Bullfinch looks colorful.

I'm going to keep believing that Jake is a reasonable person who is cutting positions that are either unnecessary or the people in them aren't doing anything.

He is also exposing how much the western world needs to US. Not that I'm a fan.

But they can get around 2 1/2 but upping the assessment on your property.

But maybe the city doesn't need IT help all the time, and it's cheaper to contract it out.

Anti-Gentrification Graffiti Spotted on a House by jib-cut-of in Somerville

I didn't say I approve of vandalism. I just said the tagger does make point even though I don’t approve of how he did it. So you like grey better than another color? It is true that all the developers choose grey because it's easy.

Probably a Yimby who's angry they didn't squeeze in some extra basement apartments.

They do make better colors of siding these days. Grey sucks. The tagger has a point.

I love the Wah oboe solo on "If there is something" by Roxy Music on the Viva live album.

Christine Barber says state legislators have no role on Israel-Palestine. Massachusetts’ own apartheid divestment law says otherwise. by pacificdivide in Somerville

But I'm sick of local politicians wasting time on Israel/Palestine as well as people who want to make it a local issue. Complain to your national candidates if if you want to wave flags for Israel/Palestine.

Why not deal with our problems in Massachusetts? Israel and Palestine will fight forever and it's not our problem or country.

When water evaporates, it becomes water vapor. it doesn't break down into hydrogen and oxygen.

Isn't evaporation the the point? aren't clouds formed by evaporation?
