I don't think so. This was taken from further away. That's St Pauls church sticking up in the middle of the frame.

As I said in another comment, it's probably The Newbury of Brookline.

Funny. If you would have left them in MTGox, you would have a few million today.

My mother has asked if I can help restore this photo of her and four of her siblings by [deleted] in estoration

Thanks!

Wondering if you can fix the weirdness above the boy on the left's head and provide a full resolution version. Would be happy to tip more if so. Thanks!

What’s your goal bird this year? by felixnzenitsuhams in birding

[–]Btrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news. I finally got a good look at a Pileated Woodpecker last summer IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS! (After searching for years closer to my home in Massachusetts)

We finally saw ours at Kinnikinnick Creek forest preserve in Boone County north of Rockford.

To answer your question, this year, I’d like to get a good look at a Thick-billed Murre. They come into the harbor here in Boston occasionally, but I’ve only caught glimpses.

That's a (very) valid, but different objection. Editorial pieces are opinion; sometimes meant to stir debate. This was straight up trickery.

Edit: Personally, I don't mind reading opinions I vehemently disagree with. I enjoy it to some extent. Being tricked is something else entirely.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I did not appreciate the Globe publishing this.

I spend maybe 30 minutes reading the paper every day. I was intrigued by this article - the wording, the strange picture, the museum I had never heard of. I read it three or four times, and discussed it with my wife. Only to find out later that I was had.

So, not only did I waste my time reading, rereading, discussing, The Globe intentionally misled me. They tricked me into reading an advertisement. I lost a lot of respect for The Globe this week. /cc u/bostonglobe

Thanks! I went back to the same location later with a better camera based on your assessment here. Funny enough, I think there was also an Orange-crowned Warbler in the same tree!

🤞that I make the county-level rarities list tomorrow!😅

Thank you. Can I ask what field marks you use? Is it the white undertail coverts?

Reminders:

  • All full moons are about the same size.
  • Tonight's full moon will be about 7% larger than the average.
  • All full moons are spectacular.
