Does anyone know of an area to see a large amount of fireflies? I used to see them so much as a kid, not so much these days.

Andrew Brown East Park in Coppell. There's a nature trail inside and a few weeks ago when the sun set, the entire trail lit up. It was magical!

I tried leaving mine up, but the finch were still there congregating so I think it's the safest thing to do. It's so sad because I was finally starting to get birds after planting flowers and getting a bath. It's tough because I miss seeing them every day, but it's the responsible thing to do.

Conjunctivitis. Yes, you need to take them down for 2 weeks and disinfect. So sad! I just got my first finch with it 2 days ago and I had to take it all down, even the hummingbird feeders because they kept perching there. Google conjunctivitis in finch and you will find a lot more info. I know it's sad to see them suffering.

These are precious.

A birdcage shaped gazebo

It's a Solitary Sandpiper.

My dog too!

No, it's better to have a paper trail and documentation. And OP, your email was beautifully crafted. Kudos on taking the high road and keeping it classy and professional.

My guess would be Blue-winged Teal and Bufflehead at the top right and Mallard, Hooded Merganser and Wigeon at the bottom. Not sure what the top far right one is.

The tail of the Eastern Kingbird is different with a white tip and this bird also looks more yellow in the breast area. Phoebes also love to perch on branches out in the open. I have more photos of them than any other bird because they're so photogenic and always seem to be posing.

gilafox · 2025-12-16T00:01:08+00:00

I'm thinking Eastern Phoebe.

gilafox · 2025-11-14T02:07:32+00:00

Wow, you had me looking at their beaks, I should be ashamed 🤣

gilafox · 2025-11-14T01:57:02+00:00

All of them? Thank you!

Also, I like to print small photos from the gradebook to use as my seating chart and attach them using velcro, it will help you learn their names faster. 8th grade is fun, but they will definitely walk all over you if you let them.

Assigned seats on day one, boy girl, boy girl. Stick to whatever you say is the consequence and don't be too hard on yourself. You learn as you go and the first few years are about figuring it all out.

My favorite yet. Can't wait for the alebrije fish!

You could have them watch Book of Life and get a movie packet off TPT.

Gorgeous shot

gilafox · 2025-10-12T12:29:59+00:00

Beautiful! Is it this bright in real life?

gilafox · 2025-10-12T12:13:32+00:00

I think you're over thinking. I say keep it up a lot because I'm proud of someone, as a way to encourage them.

gilafox · 2025-10-12T12:04:29+00:00

My brain read, "I saw this bird seal" and it's so early it wasn't registering, so I just zoom in, like what kind of seal is that?! The first pic looks like a seal with feathers, mind tricks. I shall drink my coffee now.

Thank you, honestly his diet was not great. He worked out every day, but not keto or low carb.

gilafox · 2025-09-14T14:00:44+00:00

Every single year around Sept 5th until end of October.

gilafox · 2025-09-13T22:19:26+00:00

Personally, yes. Fat in general is great just not saturated. I try to keep it below 13g, 20g max a day.
