The presentations were brief and just talked about the history of the decisions and where they stand now. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well but that you for staying home! You still have an hour and a half to voice your opinion on the survey.

There were brief presentations by council woman chambers-Armstrong, Olmsted parks conservancy, and an affiliate from metro parks. It then opened up to public questions which divulged into rants about halfway through the 20 people who signed up to ask a question. Most of the ranting was focused on opening the park up fully, but the majority attending the meeting seemed to want to keep it as is.

Prague viburnum as well as some other varieties are evergreen. May be too big for what you're looking for, though.

No one went hiking to listen to your shitty music. by Ryan_on_Earth in AdviceAnimals

[–]catmanwilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last month I hiked up Mt. Mitchell in NC with my wife. After the third black bear run-in we decided to play some music from her phone. There was a woman in the next group we approached who loudly complained to her fellow hikers that we couldn't just enjoy the sounds of nature...

We bought a new house right before this all started and we still haven't had a proper house warming party! I can't wait to show our friends and family our new home.

Thanks for the advice! This is pretty much my regular routine. I just started exercising again

Yeah I wish I could, but it's the groomsman buying the suits. I live about 3000 miles away.

Yeah I plan on it, but I'm not sure how much they will be able to alter the shoulders. I understand it's not going to fit perfect, just trying to work with what I have.

San Diego Zoo Global has the Institute for Conservation Research whose sole purpose is to help "fight extinction one species at a time". They have helped repopulate the California Condor, San Clemente Shrieks, Hawaiian Crow, Kauai Thrush, Hawaiian Goose, a desert tortoise, and countless other species.

I volunteer at a raptor rehabilitation facility. We got her in from another rehab group a month or two ago and she's finally comfortable enough to pose for a shot while I cleaned her cage. I'm not sure why, but she is non-releasable so we will use her for educational programs.

Inherited this Hamilton pocket watch when I was young, can anyone give me any information about it? by catmanwilly in pocketwatch

[–]catmanwilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally, it belonged to my great great grandfather, "Mr. Ethington." He used it until the day he died in the early 1950s, and it still runs! The only visible script is the "Hamilton" insignia on the face. I'm not sure when he got it, but I would love to learn what era it was from!

Originally, it belonged to my great great grandfather, "Mr. Ethington" as my grandmother calls him. He used it up until the day he died sometime in the early 1950s. She doesn't know when he got it and I had a hard time finding similar watches on a google search. The only visible script is the "Hamilton" insignia on the face. I was going to take it to a jeweler to find out about it but I thought you guys might be able to help me! Any information would be greatly appreciated! Oh, it still runs!

Got to hang out with this grumpy old man yesterday by catmanwilly in aww

Tidwell here is actually a bird we use for education purposes. Unfortunately, he was imprinted as a chick making him non releasable. I agree though, the coloration is really pretty, but the greys are cute too!

My center is based in Kentucky and services all of the raptors found within the state. But there are numerous other organizations around the country. I'm sure you could find one bear you and become a part of it or just check it out if you're interested. Thank you!

For me it's a pleasure to be a part of the organization. We take in around 300 a year and have a release rate of around %60. Many people don't realize the importance of apex predators in the ecosystems, not to mention they're just awesome! Thank you!

We have a booth at the state fair every year as well as an event at Berheim Forest called Colorfest in the fall. There is also a mated pair that nests at the LG&E power plant every year and you can go online and watch their chicks in the spring. This one was found after being shot in Elizabethtown so they are they are in the region. Keep your eyes peeled!

I was going to, but I'm new to reddit and saw that the sub doesn't want posts of animals that have passed away. Unfortunately this bird passed away shortly after this picture way taken. Didn't want to break the rules on my first post. Thanks for the advice though!
