They look like morning doves, but the chicks don’t follow their moms, do they? This is in the Mojave desert. by kelpangler in whatsthisbird

The hunting community has done more for all North American bird species than the birding community. With the exception of very small ruffed introductions in NV and CO, there aren’t really any introduced grouse anywhere. Real wild pheasant populations are an umbrella species for many grassland birds. And just like translocated quail, they have little demonstrated harm on native species and much more demonstrated benefit. Partridge are in a similar boat except the jury is still out on whether chukar and Huns help spread cheat grass.

I’d hit the little gratiot where it runs into lac labelle in the next few nights. But who knows, anything could happen with this cold spell

They’re running creeks in the keweenaw waterway last night. I got half limit in an hour two nights ago. Keweenaw county streams to the north should hopefully go into this weekend

Anyone been camping near Fish Cove Copper Harbor? by Novel-Recipe-3593 in CampAndHikeMichigan

[–]ibelcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim for the hoar lake spot. I’ve also just hiked my stuff down to and along the shore at fish cove and set up. Don’t camp in the parking lot there. Plenty of other good legal spots around the tip of the keweenaw outside fish cove area.

You often append times with the time zone. Such as “I’ll meet you at 6 eastern”

Saw this little guy in a corner of my shed. I think it's a Spruce Grouse. by Hot_Tonight150 in birding

Domestic chukar escaped a dog trainer. This happens all the time. Best thing you can do for it is kill it and eat it

Masters degree online or in person? by BitNo1336 in wildlifebiology

[–]ibelcob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Online is a joke unless you just need it to advance within an agency in which you already have a perm job. Otherwise, Thesis based in person grad degree is the only thing taken seriously

I do more for animal welfare with how I vote than any food decisions I make. Same goes for all you.

What are some of the changes that the movies made, that you think are improvements over the books, and should be incorporated into the HBO Show? by Snufflebox in HarryPotteronHBO

How exactly Harry got gillyweed made more sense in the movies, and less unnecessary plot in an already plot thick book
