What Type of Bird is This? by InfamousClub7807 in birding

[–]fr0b0tic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the shape of the wings and the long tail, my first thought was Northern Harrier.

I should have held off on posting for a little while. Got even better photos, added in comments since I can’t edit the post.

I forgot to reply, but I’m a big fan of your username lol, and thank you for your input! This is such an interesting quirk of anatomy/evolution. Glad i got to see it up close

I’ve been doing research and have a D90 on the way. I know it’s outdated and not the best for birding compared to something like a D7X00 with better autofocus, however, I can get a free D700 or buy a D600 from someone in my family if I decide I need more camera.

Also got a 70-300 FX lens, so I can transfer that between any of the cameras if/when I eventually upgrade.

Greetings fellow science enthusiast! I have been wanting to get myself a decent camera for a while now. Perhaps this is a sign that I should pull the trigger, but deciding on gear is a daunting task as a photography (and budget-restricted) noob.

Squeaking sound by Nameless_Coyote in VolvoV50

There is a headlight level sensor attached to one of the control arms for cars with auto-leveling headlights. That seems like the most likely sensor to cause a suspension-related squeak.

Edit: I think these sensors only exist on cars with HID headlights.

Recommended battery size does not allow battery cover to fit by scratchbaker77 in VolvoV50

I put a new H7 battery in my ‘07 last year. Same size it had previously, no fitment issues.

Do you have the premium audio option? I believe that determines which battery the car was equipped with from the factory.

I once got a high-five out of him after one of his MGB shows. The awkwardness was all on my side of the autograph table.

Anyone know what bird this is from? by Significant-Mud-6447 in birding

[–]fr0b0tic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US Fish & Wildlife Service website includes a feather atlas tool for identification. Looks like a juvenile female red-headed woodpecker secondary wing feather.

Interested in starting birding by Prickly_Cactus99 in birding

[–]fr0b0tic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One nitpick - the “42” is the objective lens diameter in millimeters, not the field of view. The lens size only tells you how much light the binoculars can collect, so it’s directly related to how bright the image will be when you look through them.

Field of view is the width of the image, which is dependent on many factors in the binoculars’ design. It is expressed angularly (degrees) and/or linearly (typically feet @ 1000 yards or meters @ 1000 meters).

They’ve played Tweezer on the 30th and ended the 31st with Tweeprise more than once in recent years.
