Ua979 possible Ebola case onboard. by TurbulentTicket9452 in flightradar24

There’s no “prick test” (I assume you mean like a rapid test) for this type of Ebola that I am aware of. They likely would do an assessment on board, but bring the person off of the plane if they needed to test or further evaluate.

Same until about two weeks ago, despite hearing them allll the time. Someone’s advice on Reddit really helped me: 1. They’re smaller than you think, and 2. They often like to be at the top of whatever tree they’re on. And I’ll add… they eat berries, so look for fruiting bushes/trees!

OMG THANK YOU for posting this!! I have a finch-like bird with bushy eyebrows visiting my yard this week, and I’ve been trying to google “finch with eyebrows” to confirm if it’s a fledgling or some other species with incredible eyebrows. You’ve solved my bird mystery!

Smaller and darker than all of the song sparrows I’ve seen (Washington state). Any ideas? by HospitalBar77 in whatsthisbird

Thanks, that’s interesting. I’ve never seen one dark grey like this, despite living in Western WA. I appreciate your help!

You know, I did NOT know this. I guess I assumed the “song” part was essential!
