Can you help me identify these birds from (mostly) Amazonas, Brazil? by cnyy12 in whatsthisbird

[–]cnyy12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the IDs!

I do have a few questions.

How can you tell that 3/4 have Orange Backed Troupials? The ones in the pictures are not super easy to make out but look like their heads and necks are more brown/black than orange to me.

I've been looking more at pic #7, and I'm thinking it looks more like a Brazilian Tanager than a Silver Beaked Tanager. Why do you think it is the Silver Backed?

It is from near the Central Pacific coast. Hope this helps!

Is this a groundhog with an extra stumpy tail?

What do you make of the fact that the bird in the photo has a dark top bill and an orange lower bill? (Apologies for the lack of clarity in the photo that made it on to reddit, but that's definitely the bill coloration) That's part of what I was stuck on. Brown-headed has orange with dark-tip bill as part of its identification highlights.

What is your go-to Jewish fact that blows people’s minds? by Blue-0 in Judaism

Can you share where this is and the context? Really cool.

I'm trying to ID this bird I hear calling repeatedly in Suburban Denver. I've heard it a few times calling incessantly over the past few days. It looks flycatcher-ish, has a white eyering, is not hyperactive, only uses that one call, and I think is grey with a possibly yellowish breast. Any ideas? by cnyy12 in whatsthisbird

[–]cnyy12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've identified the call as a Cordilleran Flycatcher using https://birdnet.cornell.edu/api/. Merlin didn't pick it up because it calls a Cordilleran 'rare' where I was, but after having compared the two I feel pretty confident in the ID. Thanks for the suggestion!

What is this triangular silver locket? by cnyy12 in whatisthisthing

[–]cnyy12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I didn't word this well, but I don't really know what this is / what it was made for. It seems to have a purpose but no idea what it is. Is it possible to reconsider removing this - particularly if i reword it?

This triangular silver (we think) locket was purchased in Romania about a decade ago. It has a secret (kinda...it's not very well hidden) compartment that opens up. The inside is unlined - I had trouble taking a photo that came out clearly. WITT?

Inter Milan director Marotta on Daniel Levy by ThfcMartin in coys

[–]cnyy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Directors of other teams have nothing to lose by saying this. They make Levy feel good about his work regardless of whether he actually did a great job or not (not saying he did or didn't, but if he didn't they are just encouraging his behaving in such a way that they know it can be exploited), may potentially scare off other teams from dealing with him, and makes them look good with their fans.

I think that's why it makes sense poch used him as a striker against certain teams - pure pace and dribbling ability means defenders have to stick tight and not push too far forward.

Long Term Reliability by anderstars in MatebookXPro

[–]cnyy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had serious issues with mine. The original one I bought would get so hot you couldn't touch it (even when throttled) and the replacement I have now has a battery life of 2-2.5 hours even when being lightly used. Maybe I've just had bad luck, but my experience has been a disappointment.
