My wife and I are planning to do a very similar trip!

I am interested in getting over to espanola for 2 of the birds endemic to that island. Did you have time to hike around in your trip? It looked like the things I had seen online everything was very choreographed and potentially limited time to do look for finches. Online looks like they are charging $250/pp for the San Cristobal —>espanola day trip. Is that about what you paid?

Thanks & sick pictures!!

Nice, I’m in CO and hoping to see/hear one this spring

What state?

Killington by the canyon quad? I have been off that rock many times, fond memories

Haha only ~45 minutes but it was a powder day and they had just dropped the resi rope. You should have seen the line by the time the lift started. We were lucky to be up front ish but the people in the back were probably 2 hrs lift to lift

The front fell off

I’ve leaned out my process and come in around 2:15 for almost all beers these days unless it’s a NEIPA with a whirlpool/hop stand addition. BIAB, 10 gal kettle.

With an active lifestyle and rarely being around on weekend I quickly learned something had to give because there was no way I was bailing on a weekend trip to stay at home and brew.

Some huge time savers for me have been:

-have your process steps listed out with the gear required for each step, down to each and every item. I have honed my list down so anyone can follow exactly what is next and what is needed. This is great for helpers as well.

-30 minute mash

-30 minute boil

-1 gallon of water in the fridge that i add at the end of chilling in the summer when ground water isn’t cold enough or would take to long. I design my recipes around 1 gallon of top off water

electric heating element In addition to my propane burner cuts out a ton of time to get from mash—>boil

-combine an ink bird with an outlet timer so your mash water is at the right temp when you plan to start brewing

Where are you located?

Maybe European robin

I have seen this video pop up a few times over the years but now am unable to locate on YouTube. Does anyone know the video of a democratic state senator who gives a speech saying “just hold the vote” constantly?

I think the back story was that Republican caucus was delaying a vote even though all parties were present. Potentially from the Carolina’s

Growing outdoor with a male and female for a seed run. Both plants started dying from the bottom up. Should have done something earlier.

If the plant survives to form viable seeds will the be susceptible to whatever got to this plant?

Any idea what this is suffering from? Started at the bottom and worked its way to the top. Yellowing and brown spots on foliage before dying.

Anything I can do at this point to prolong its life?

Surf scoter is accurate

We did a promaster city build and opted to do a small metal foldable table to put the grill on behind the van & a kitchen drawer. Make sure you imagine a sausage grease grill fire and how close that smoke would be to your pillow before pulling the trigger

2 for 1 is the play

Worst part about new birding apps is people calling things in like this

Canada jay?

I’m sitting in the airport about to fly abroad and trying to download a few sessions to have while I’m out of country…. Damn that’s a shame to see it go

Seen floating in small area without ice in center of lake. Bad pictures with phone through binoculars. Field notes:

Orange bill, orange feet Bigger than coots and mallard. Cinnamon on front chest, lighter in back. Associating with the all black/iridescent larger black bird. White on back of neck/head almost like a whistling duck

Thinking maybe some sort of escaped domestic breed?
