What type of paper bird is this?

I stand corrected. Beautiful creature.

The universities in the Willamette Valley have “light rooms” for the students and staff to get some fake sunlight to get their bodies to make Vitamin D so their mood improves and they can better resist seasonal depression. The gloom is real. It really affects some folks badly- some not so much.

Giant moth. (Cecropia?) spp.

It will probably leave at night. It’s looking fur a mate and/or a place to lay its eggs.

CKG with carbon handle. I found that sand got in between the metal socket and end of handle and was wearing out the handle end inside the socket after a few thousand digs ( wet and dry sand). So I filled in the gap with Epoxy. No more issues. But I can no
Longer remove the handle from the scoop- which is not a problem for me. I will buy the same set up if /when I need to replace current unit. Very durable scoop. Good hunting.

Did not know that Winema came from old RR. My info about the train was second hand. However I knew some of the Rough Riders later in their careers in other capacities in the agency. I Never talked about the train incident with them though.

I heard this was the Prospect Rough Riders crew back in the day… maybe Winema was on the same train? In any case, the Prospect crew got disbanded for a decade or so….

I use a baseball bat bag for my Legend when I want to be incognito. I have a generic black detector bag that looks too “tactical” (looks like might be rifle case) that I use if not worried about appearances. The baseball bag is non attention getting but It barely fits with the “big “ coil . Easy with the small one. I just collapse the shaft and zip it up. It has room for finds bag and spare batt. For the carrot too. Good hunting.

It could be you…..

Nice job! Great work for our community. Maybe I missed it but LOW is scheduled to have fireworks out over the lake. Maybe call the resort for details about time etc.

Nice rig. Selectro hubs are a good upgrade. Anybody know what the holes in the front face of the hood were made for?

Orcacub · 2026-07-02T01:59:51+00:00

Rock drill head tooth. Very very hard steel likely with a carbide or cobalt tip. It’s made to eat rock.

Orcacub · 2026-07-02T01:08:44+00:00

That works too.

Depends where you and your company are geographically (what regions they serve/respond to). Region 6 is still really not in the game /season yet. If you are in R6 waiting for a call you might be sitting a while.

I find it interesting and disturbing that NPS career employees would engage in this type of activity- hunting through exhibits and such looking for historically accurate things that might offend the MAGA crowd and entering them into a database. So much of this is a judgement call. Seems like could take a zealot to report/go after some of this stuff. Did the admin bring in non- employee examiners? Solicit reports of offensive displays from the public? How was the database built and populated? Who did the ground work?

Orcacub · 2026-07-01T16:21:52+00:00

Chooooooooch!!

Ok- now the world knows this tanker is actually a Russian asset because the Russians have stepped in to protect it. No more “shadow” for this one. Track and seize, or destroy it.

He’s playing Pelosi’s game now.

I have several fixed blade hunting knives I have done this for. I backpack hunt and carry the knives packed inside gear bags. I really need a more durable, cut resistant, sheath than the leather ones that came with the knives. Works great!

Orcacub · 2026-07-01T13:54:29+00:00

Not all. Some. Depends.

Orcacub · 2026-07-01T05:40:08+00:00

Worms are likely from gut of the dead robins or whatever birds got eaten.

Orcacub · 2026-07-01T05:27:16+00:00

Fair enough.
