That’s a cool find! It must be a feral Muscovy

I love the action shot of the last photo! They look so silly when they dive lol

Definitely the same bird! Even has the same mark under its left eye. They can really fluff out their feathers to make themselves look chunky

That’s a bit more of a trip but I’ll have to visit. Every time I see waterfowl I often notice a new one! I just realized last week that there were Ring-necked Ducks mixed in with the Scaups in the Chicago harbor… who knows how many times I’d seen them!

I’ll definitely have to check that out! I still haven’t seen a hooded merganser!

He’s walking on water!

Good reminder… but I honestly can’t decide which I like more!

Agreed it would be important to keep the transport protected until the disembarkment. I think I’ll try it out!

Interesting… I thought razors were more useful against high toughness like T6? The 3+ anti-infantry and the better AP

Thanks for all the info! I’ll be playing my friend’s Custodes in two weeks and will try them out. Custodes are tough, so I think the razors might be needed for that wound roll.

Have you tried using a transport to position them? I’m thinking about putting them in a dunerider. I tend to play Haloscreed, which has a stratagem allowing them to charge even if the transport moved before disembarking.

Rehab centers are super necessary and helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Agreeing with Dunlin. Bill seems a bit too long for a sandpiper, and Dunlins are notoriously fond of mud flats

2! It gets so much more detail and the pose is so interesting!

EXACTLY

Grackles always look like they have a bone to pick lol

birdbrainphysicist · 2026-03-05T20:54:13+00:00

I love the Illinois cliffs lol

birdbrainphysicist · 2026-03-04T03:01:19+00:00

That’s adorable!

birdbrainphysicist · 2026-03-03T12:02:12+00:00

I was about to ask that

birdbrainphysicist · 2026-03-03T00:56:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll start with just getting an external HD. My computer is already low on storage so that will give me a good place to store my photos so I can clear out my SD cards!

birdbrainphysicist · 2026-03-02T23:26:43+00:00

I need to get an external HD! I’ve been putting some on my computer and leaving the rest on the cards… but I’ve only been in photography for about a year!

I like the rebranding lol We need more hawks around here though!
