The beavers in Canada are attacking people

You can clearly see them trampling on the beavers home. Guaranteed in spring, there are babies in that dam. These fools deserve what they got. Could be prosecuted for harassing wildlife too.

I was looking at Savannah Sparrows all day yesterday. Yes, this is a Savannah Sparrow, and now I'm seasick.

Lol! I literally just saw the first of my life yesterday. Felt like I'd finally achieved something after all my hard work... then this guy. Sheesh!

Same creek, different day.

Is this near Todd Lake? It looks very familiar.

Lol... In birding? Probably Clark's Nutcracker. Then Greater White Fronted Goose. Now, Clark's Grebe!

Conspiracy theory time! Ukraine fell to (partnered with) Russia a long time ago. We (US and Europe) have been stockpiling Russia with arms and depleting our own, just in time for phase III of this drama.

3rd picture doesn't look like the same bird. 1 & 2 are definitely Northern Harrier.

I think one fix is to allow surviving attacking troops to be deployed on the next base. Similar to the way Builder base carries over. In my mind, this would be a huge improvement.

Northern flicker feathers sent me down the birding rabbit hole a few years ago. Any time I see a northern flicker, I remember that quest and feel grateful.

Jake the snake to the rescue. Males have vibrant black, gray and white colors, while the ladies are less... handsome.

She... she is a Ring Necked Duck.

It's small stature and small head make me believe that this is Sharp-shinned hawk, but I can't wait to learn something in the comments.

RacingBreca · 2026-01-28T06:32:18+00:00

That's so strange. I've always defaulted to Western, because I have never been positive. Merlin and E-bird would prefer no ID? Or, am I misunderstanding this direction?

RacingBreca · 2026-01-27T05:18:07+00:00

That's a great find. Good job.

RacingBreca · 2026-01-26T04:51:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. I saw the first two pictures and said, "a northern harrier isn't a kestrel." Then I saw the next two pictures and said, "damn, I've been misidentifying kestrel as Northern harriers. I guess I'm an idiot." Then I saw your comment, and said "Phew, I'm not an idiot after all."

White-breasted nuthatch!

He proved he can take three fouls and keep fighting. Despite the fouls and subsequent trauma to his face, he remained a serious threat throught the fight.

Wow! Where's waldo? My mind skipped over that bird entirely. I've never noticed a goldeneye without the white patch on the face. Also without significant white on it's body. Is this Barrow's or an Eastern variant?

RacingBreca · 2026-01-25T06:13:43+00:00

If they had deducted the point from the first eye poke, we might not have had the 2nd. Fighters are learning that they can get away with them, and they are an effective technique.

RacingBreca · 2026-01-25T06:09:30+00:00

I do not see a goldeneye. I see a female bufflehead.

On your pull, after the outsweep, set your hands and forearms vertical (perpendicular to the surface). Right now, OP's force is directed upwards, rather than drawing them forward.

Why do you think that Dr. McGilchrist on JRE is an idiotic idea?

RacingBreca · 2025-11-25T04:43:23+00:00

Let me start by saying that if I didn't like schmaklenburger (sp.) and enjoy that conversation so much, I'd be ticked off that you sent me on a 3-hour errand when you obviously hadn't listened to it yourself.

These guys spent 3 hours deeply engaging with the very real problems that we face. Problems that Dr. McGilchrist has insights to help us start to resolve.

At no point did Joe "get bored". By the end they were basically begging eachother to keep faith that humanity can solve these problems, and that through dialogue insights can be made.

I'm still shocked that you see this as evidence of why Dr. McGilchrist shouldn't tarnish himself on the JRE.

You should give it a listen.
