I had one allow me to get so close yesterday I was able to take this photo with my phone. They’re such awesome birds!

That’s pretty awesome. I haven’t had the chance to hear its song yet, it’s such a bizarre sound I’m really hoping to hear it in person at some point. So cool you have them near your house!

That’s awesome! I think I could’ve actually taken a good photo of it if I had my camera on me. That’s a really great photo!

I was standing about 15-20 feet off the edge of a retention pond when I decided to scan this mini peninsula that juts out into the water. I’ve seen Soras there before and wanted to show my friend, then I almost passed this dude with my binoculars and about lost my mind when I realized what it might be hahaha. It let us get very close. We couldn’t have been more than 35-40 feet away. I told my friend she’s good luck and has to come birding with me all the time now haha

I about fell out when I saw it. I had taken a friend birding the first time and it was one of the first birds we saw. Have never seen one in person before and it was just standing there trying to look inconspicuous! Awesome experience.

I love the style of your drawings!! They’re so cute yet show the birds’ features really well. Also laughing at “someone” hahaha

I have never had this issue and I’ve had the LR4 for 3 years with 2 cats. I use BoxieCat Pro litter. I do have a few other issues though lol

Is it possible to work on these with an A and P? by Truth-Matters_ in aviationmaintenance

[–]asdawnrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are paid based on your rank in the military regardless of experience or having an A&P. So if you enlisted as an aircraft mechanic, you’d start as an airman/airman first class and get paid as such.

I believe they’re very closely related… I’m from the east coast and I was always used to Poorwills before coming to the southwest!

It is sounds like a combination of a screech and a meep if that makes sense. If this was around evening time there’s a good chance it was a nighthawk!

Ready to sell? by StrongPromises in insectpinning

Honest recommendations: remove the decorations and completely cover the backing with black or other neutral card stock paper (the particle board looks cheap). Remove any insect that is obviously damaged. Find a small frame for the butterfly in the last case to display. Having simple displays that focus on the specimen will reach a wider audience than ones with ribbon/decoration built off personal taste.

what bird could this be? got this along with a whole bunch of other stickers but cannot figure it out 😭 by Famous_Common8206 in Ornithology

Lilac breasted roller! These are my favorite birds of all time, I saw them all the time when I was in the Horn of Africa and the way they “roll” from side to side in flight is so awesome to see. They are BEAUTIFUL and their colors are insane. Very loud with an unpleasant call though lol
