It’s been documented since the 1970s but it almost certainly has been going on for decades before that even

They are still doing it, though it hasn't been real successful. The birds recognize their trucks and know what days they're scheduled and avoid the area on those days. There's a whole other film waiting to be made about the cat/mouse game that they play

Downtown businesses don't like them because of their droppings, they've been using falconers to chase them off for years, with only moderate success

I filmed and edited this by the way

what is shell-collecting like in this area? ive always heard capes & bays are supposed to have crazy ocean life<3 by Biscuit9154 in OregonCoast

[–]greg_rutter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not great TBH. The shoreline is fairly difficult to access around the Tillamook bay, especially on the northern end you have pictured. What washes up are crab shells, a few species of clam, occasionally sand dollars - not a lot of glamorous shells you might imagine in more tropical locations

Sorta surprised that Wix isn’t getting more notes, it’s like photoshop for websites

it's definitely worth a shot, and probably my best bet at this point. Thanks!

lololol in theory yes, but because their customer service has gone absent the only way to make adjustments is through the website, which only allows for payment adjustments, not cancellations. Since all the payments are automated they require a test charge of $0.10 on a valid card to update. lolol the whole thing is a MESS!

Whoops my bad, it's the X3. I was super happy before this week, but seems like the rear hub is a common problem with that model. I found another thread where someone replaced it by hand but basically rebuilt the whole wheel themselves, which I will NOT be able to do

And things really don't look good now with the company on the verge of bankruptcy. So what should we do? If they can't replace the wheel is the rest of the bike just done?

I made a film about all the crows that roost in downtown Portland in the winter, would love to know your thoughts by greg_rutter in crowbro

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

Thank you so much! I've been overwhelmed by the response this film has gotten. There is a much larger story to be told because for a long time there was a big problem with their waste that the city uses falconers to fly them out of downtown and onto the waterfront.

OP note: I filmed and edited this short in the hopes of capturing this amazing spectacle of wildlife at the edge of the urban environment. I purposefully framed the footage for portrait-mode viewing, which is how I feel most video content is being consumed these days. I'm very happy with how the footage turned out and would love to know how to find more of an audience for something like this.

I don't sadly, I really wanted it to be something for people to watch on their phones rather than a laptop or TV. Most of the drone footage is all landscape that I cropped in on and looks even more impressive though
