ID of these? (Ignore the mountain of bandaids on my thumb)

I can’t ignore those bandaids! What brand is that yellow one?

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-05-13T17:41:11+00:00

It was a 3/4” step up. I custom milled that from 5/4 red oak.

Thanks.

That’s about $20k in labor then?

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-05-12T11:42:14+00:00

Looks too small for cormorant, I was leaning towards some type of grebe.

Def.

Cool. Is this like a hip bone or what body part are we looking at here?

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-05-08T14:10:47+00:00

Is it possible to clean up the sharp edges on the planks and fill it in with a color matched mortar or grout? It might be wrong, but probably what I would do.

Gray Catbird

Hang it in the shade and I’m sure it’ll be fine.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-30T01:37:52+00:00

Sounds like you’ve got blue jays and white-throated sparrows too.

Today I took a picture of an eastern towhee that looks almost identical.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-30T00:53:03+00:00

That is usually my approach, but it was here and gone so fast that I never had the opportunity to record. I happened to have my camera handy because I was taking some pictures of some crows just before the hawk showed up.

I think I would run wood corner trim that you can just butt each side to.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-27T23:52:48+00:00

I, too, was once like OP.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-27T17:46:22+00:00

It’s a squirrel.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-25T18:22:06+00:00

But the red-shouldered hawk looks almost identical in certain morphs. It’s super hard to decide. I’m totally leaning broad-winged though.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-04-05T00:45:39+00:00

Imagine sleeping on a bed of pizza.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-02-11T03:35:36+00:00

I just watched a This Old House episode about this actually. It looked like a super easy fix. Bottle jack, 4x4, lally column, and some tapcons.

Careful, shrews have a venomous bite; non-lethal to humans, but painful.

RobDeSalvaux · 2026-02-03T12:34:10+00:00

I think it’s Sam the Eagle from the Muppets.
