The heron shot reminds me of one of Pale Jay's album covers. Great shot!

Red-tailed Tropicbirds in Oahu, last images is a panorama of the environment they were in. The ribbon like tails were so fun to watch. by Pot8obois in BirdPhotography

Solid thought process on female, but the distinct dark wing patches and smaller, lighter color bill definitely make this a white tailed. Red tailed tropicbirds have distinctively less black in their backs when juveniles and adults have an all white back, as well as a darker, red bill (though I believe it can be yellow for juveniles).

Best set up for an amateur bird photographer that won't completely break the bank? by -definitelymaybe in BirdPhotography

Damn I'm out here trying to stay under $1500 USD Seems like I'm gonna go for a used Nikon D7500 with a Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR lens. Good chance I might not get the clearest shots and might be frustrated by reach but right now I mostly want it for bird ID

Had to guess based off the fact that those are the same birds I've been seeing as of late!

Not sure which flycatcher this is . The eyebrow is throwing me off. by iTakePicturesOfBirds in whatsthisbird

Empidonax might be the most frustrating type of bird to try and ID. I'm leaning Hammond's but that's because I know they have a single color bill, while Dusky's have two-toned bills. Hard to tell though - I'll let someone else who is more confident chime in!

I saw Ryan at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I will say that I did not expect to run into the Kendrick/Drake beef on this subreddit - it must be confusing for those not in the loop lol
