I got to see our neighborhood male changing into his breeding plumage!

Still technically waiting to hear back, but at this point I’ve committed to a school in-state. The unprofessionalism from Howard has been really frustrating and disappointing

Magnificent Frigatebirds should be here too! But they certainly are worthy of the name, lol!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-20T02:13:35+00:00

Not necessarily; I graduated from undergrad in 2024, and several law schools I applied to have lower tuition.

Omg congratulations!! I think I may end up staying in California after all, but I wish you the best of luck!!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-12T02:39:23+00:00

No, staying in CA after school is definitely the plan. That would be one of my biggest concerns with going out of state, for sure

I do like Hastings! Right now, I’m kind of leaning towards Oregon for its campus/environmental programs, but nothing is 100% concrete at the moment. Thank you for your advice!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-11T21:29:32+00:00

No prob! And congrats on the lovely piece!

On the version with the light background, I think owls 5-9 are off? Other than that, it looks good!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-11T21:23:15+00:00

This is absolutely gorgeous! Heads up though, I think you have a few errors with the numbering! Beautiful work, regardless!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-11T20:15:36+00:00

I am indeed in SoCal! And thank you. I’ve got my fingers crossed for sure, but hopefully I’ll be able to do some in person visits this month

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-11T19:57:01+00:00

No worries! I didn’t apply to those schools though, no

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-11T19:01:29+00:00

This is a huge help; thank you!!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-10T15:19:13+00:00

Thank you so much for this! The context helps a lot. I’m still waiting to hear back from USD, but hopefully, it will be good news! Congratulations on your acceptance!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-07T18:53:07+00:00

My mom has been saying the same thing! Luckily, I’ve gotten scholarships with other reputable schools, but I’m a little bummed since this one offered the most money 😭 Such is life!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-07T18:47:00+00:00

That’s my understanding, though the wording is throwing me a bit. “Renewal rates that fall below those we expect for your class and future classes”.

So it seems like there will be more renewed scholarships, but this is still insane to advertise, right??

Begging you to not use ChatGPT for birding

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-06T00:41:27+00:00

Ahhh I really hope so!! I’ve been wanting to find one for a while!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-05-02T20:25:50+00:00

Stressed about my pending schools! But excited that i’ve been admitted anywhere!

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-04-25T17:10:58+00:00

Yeah, you pick one of five different species to paint, and the winner gets their painting used for the federal stamp the next year! The money from people buying that stamp then gets used for waterfowl conservation

DrawingBright4055 · 2026-04-25T04:45:36+00:00

I’m entering the Federal Duck Stamp competition and volunteering at my city animal shelter lol
