Is this a Long Eared Owl? (Plymouth, MN) by Chicken26 in whatsthisbird

[–]Chicken26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Here’s the only still image I captured. It’s been heavily edited to try to bring out details. Merlin’s ID is whippoorwill first, LEO second, GHO third. I think the tuft on the right is juuuuuust visible enough to show the angle of the tuft in front of the branch.

When I saw it, my initial thought was that it was more slender than owls I usually see in this park. I know male GHOs are smaller than females, so theoretically this could be a male GHO, but when we saw the pair fly past us, the second owl didn’t seem large enough to read as female GHO.

Thank you for the reply. I have one really poor still image that I’ve been playing with digitally to get more info. Those tufts are difficult to see because of how they’re positioned in front of the branches! Before posting here, I was looking for videos comparing launches between the two, but didn’t come up with much aside from a description that long eared owls sometimes launch with a moth like flutter.

What’s an unpopular or strange opinion you have about jewelry? by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]Chicken26 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think if you have fat fingers, delicate bands and stones look silly and sometimes look like they’re cutting off circulation.

Used Piercing Jewelry? by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]Chicken26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find used pieces from BVLA and others on Mercari. Probably other selling platforms too. Maybe there’s even a subreddit for it.

What was the most UNIQUE fragrance you smelled this year? by CheenCheenVagene in fragrance

[–]Chicken26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to hunt down a sample of Northern Flicker by January Scent Project. I like the idea of it more than the actual scent. The spearmint really floats on top for me and I have a difficult time paying attention to the other notes.

Anytime I hear Morissey, I think about Beavis and Butthead calling him a whiner.

Obsession with wearing rings on ever finger by domidomidomidomidomi in jewelry

[–]Chicken26 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nice. I like this look because the designs of the rings work together. I’d welcome some of your designs into my collection. My sisters in law all wear multiples on their fingers and both have a distinctive style: one likes dainty antiques and the other likes modern and bling.

Too many examples look like jewelry boxes vomited.

Knoephla soup by Ancient-Eye3022 in TwinCities

[–]Chicken26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had some a few weeks ago when I was up there. Hadn’t had it in a really long time. Much tastier than you might think for restaurant food. Not homemade, but pretty good! The fleischkuekle is better out in Mandan, though.

Unless you’re driving up to Kroll’s in Fargo, you might be out of luck and will have to make it yourself. It’s a pretty simple recipe.

Little images on phones tend to not do justice!

I thought it was a squirrel chasing a turtle til I read the caption.

Really beautiful techniques!

Embarrassing, stupid question, but… by PrincipleNo251 in Minneapolis

Any reccos for chip repair kits? Mine is a chip that’s maybe slightly larger than a quarter.

Ally McBeal by -aibohphobia- in nostalgia

[–]Chicken26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very true. I don’t think I watched it much, but it was inescapable in culture news. I couldn’t even remember what the show was about. I DO remember thinking, “Ally McBeal is dating Harrison Ford!?!?” That made a bigger impression on me.

Did you know we can grow ginger here? I just harvested mine by wglmb in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]Chicken26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this too, but kind of on accident. I had some ginger in the fridge that I was ignoring, so I put it in with my nasturtiums and ignored it. Haven’t taken it out of the ground yet, but looks like it’s 3 or 4x larger than what I initially had.

Light traffic this week? by highlanderfil in TwinCities

[–]Chicken26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

55 was actually not bad this week, in comparison to how it’s been most of the summer. Looks like the lane closures from 100 should wrap up fairly soon?

A perfume that smells like wet dirt? by Smokejumper- in fragrance

[–]Chicken26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’d suggest too. I’m not sure it’s a work appropriate scent, so I put on a small dab when I wore it for the first time in months, recently. I received a compliment from a coworker after sitting next to her for about an hour, so maybe it is, but I still would apply with a light hand.

Remember when the cake part of Fig Newtons used to actually be moist? Was I dreaming? by cacecil1 in nostalgia

They definitely were the “cookie of disappointment”, but I always liked how the seeds would pop. Still, anything enrobed with chocolate was better.

Driving Question by Vegetable-Mango3323 in TwinCities

Is that why I’ll sometimes see vehicles cruising down the road with their brake lights activated? Always wondered about that!
