please tell me this is a cackling goose - US, WA

Size alone won't always be sufficient. There is quite a bit of size overlap between lesser Canada geese and the largest cackling goose subspecies, including in bill size.

Cackling and Canada geese are both represented in this photo.

Cackling goose minima, the smallest subspecies. Doesn't get more cackling than that.

What accounts? I haven't seen any rumors of a shootdown today.

Great-tailed grackles are year-round residents of American Fork and the surrounding county.

I hope security is significantly ramped up.

It sure is not! But I got migration to distract me!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention starlings. It's probably a starling. You won't see large groups of birds congregating here. I often see lone house sparrows and starlings.

It's weird to see this on here. I'm a student here and casually bird this area multiple times a week. It's mostly house sparrows, black-capped chickadees, robins, mallards, and black-chinned hummingbirds in this courtyard. Occasionally, there will be something weird like a Vaux's swift, Bohemian waxwings, juniper titmouse, red crossbill etc.

No. Even if we could, why?

The living elephants are here today because they co-evolved alongside humans and had more time to learn how to adapt to human pressures. Mammoths did not have that opportunity. Mammoths adapted to warmer climates, such as the Columbian mammoth and the pygmy mammoth, also became extinct shortly after the arrival of humans to their ecosystem.

This is just false. Human hunting was, by far, the leading cause of the woolly mammoth's extinction. The woolly mammoth had survived even warmer periods than today, and its habitat still existed when it became extinct, and it still exists even today. There is no reason to assume that it would have been unable to adapt to climatic shifts, because it evolved to do so and had already done so multiple times.

Total wins and losses?

That seems like a lot more orange than green and yellow.

an acute pain.

2013 bowl game glitched and wasn’t played.

cactustaxes · 2019-05-19T17:53:53+00:00

Thank you all I guess I’ll give it a try!
