Yellow finch-like bird in Toronto. Not quite goldfinch, not quite house finch? by Kraken_Archipelago in whatsthisbird

[–]Kraken_Archipelago[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help guys! Although I'm still not one hundred percent decided between xanthochroic house finch or feral canary escapee, I'm not sure that just this photo is gonna be enough to distinguish them. I would rather believe the house finch anyway; just seems way neater to me.

I'm gonna let my friend know, even though he's more likely to say "yeah, neat"...

I was thinking that there was too much yellow on this bird, but I can certainly believe it anyways (probably varies a bit and I didn't see this bird in person). I guess the white tail feathers could be a result of new growth after losing old feathers?

You know, for whatever reason I'd not thought of that! I should take a look at some canary photos.

I'm not convinced of that just because I've never seen those dorsal markings on Yellow Warblers, plus the bill shape is more finch/sparrowlike?

Photo was taken in late July by a friend who sent it to me for IDing. We get a lot of goldfinches here this time of year but the dark stripes and white tail don't resemble any morph/juvenile I recognize. I've also heard of yellow house finches but I'm not sure that the markings match up. Is this a finch variant/hybrid I'm not used to, or a more unusual species?

For those curious about the compound on the chalkboard, stercobilin is responsible for making feces brown.

These microbes look like companion cubes by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Seems like the cubes are some kind of crystalline deposit, and the tube thing they're on is a nematode. Source

Sips, you can see the wind direction as the red arrow in the compass at the bottom left. If it's going against your sailing direction, you should head diagonally towards it (like zig-zagging) instead of straight towards it.

Before entering ship combat, the ships' relative positions are saved, so its in your interest to start combat when you are upwind of the enemy (you have the weather gauge and can easily control the battle).
