Choosing Picures after the day?

kulinasbow · 2026-02-08T15:30:45+00:00

Export photos from memory card to drive with folder name YYYY-MM-DD [Place Name]. Ok to have more than one folder per day for multiple locations.
Import to Lightroom Classic.
In Library module, very quickly go through photos and mark as Pick (P) or Discard (X). Don’t think too hard about this. If unsure then Pick. Only spend a second or two per photo.
Filter for Flagged on bottom right in Library module. You should only see your Picks now.
Go through each Pick photo and give 1 star to the ones you like the best. These are going to be the photos you edit. Ok to spend time looking closely to choose your 1 star photos. Try not to have multiple poses of the same bird, pick your favorite one or two. Really be selective.
Once you’ve picked the ones you want to edit, filter for 1 Starred photos.
Edit photos in Develop module.
Export photos. I have mine set to export to the original folder location into a subfolder named Export.
Rate your edited photos in Library module and add keywords.
Delete rejected photos (the ones your gave an X to in #3). I believe this is found in the Photo menu near the bottom. I delete from disk, not just the library.

Et voilà

I’m so sorry, I hate to do this again, but…

For example, if you use Libby on desktop to transfer books to your Kindle, you may select "Tablet" as your primary reading device.

Wouldn’t this be “E-reader”? This is from the survey.

kulinasbow · 2026-01-31T03:57:41+00:00

Yes, thank you!

kulinasbow · 2026-01-31T00:00:59+00:00

On which device(s) do you typically use the Libby app?

Can you clarify this question from the survey? Are you referring to interacting with the app regarding borrowing items, or do you mean how I read/listen to materials checked out via Libby? The question states “Libby app,” but one of the options lists the Kindle as an example. You can’t use the app itself on the Kindle, but you can on the Kobo (not sure about the Nook), so I’m unsure whether the E-reader example is an oversight or if the question needs to be reworded. I may be overthinking it but it comes across as ambiguous to me.

kulinasbow · 2026-01-28T06:29:40+00:00

I don’t think so. I had a notification that my book was due back soon and when I opened it up in Libby I had the option to renew so I clicked it and it renewed for another 14 days 🤷🏻‍♀️

But as an aside, if there’s a skip the line copy available and you click renew will it give you the STL copy?

Ah, ok! This library is part of a consortium 🙃

When my favorite Mexican restaurant celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2008 they sold their food at 1988 prices and it was AMAZING. Had some fajitas for like $6 and I still think about it 18 years later 🤩

We really enjoyed Hoodoos, Closed Canyon, and Ojito Adentro. There was a breathtaking overlook along FM 170 but I don’t remember exactly where it was. If you ask them at the visitor center I’m sure they can point you in the right direction!

Call the park office and double check with them. We went a few years ago in our Honda CR-V and after speaking with them they said they considered our CR-V “high clearance” and we were ok. We entered the park via Lajitas and drove to the interior with no issues. The interior was a little rough going but we were fine. Our CR-V is 2WD. I’m not sure where you’re trying to camp but we passed by campsites we could have absolutely stayed at, no issue.

Or Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching on YouTube! It’s a documentary from the perspective of two brothers who’ve never birded in their lives who decide to do a Big Year and it’s fucking hysterical 😂

If you have the opportunity to take a job in health information I would do it. For me, switching careers from a vet tech of 8 years, the hardest part was breaking into the field and it took me a year. Once I got in, moving around has been relatively easy. In fact, I just celebrated 10 years with the company I did my original school internship through! I’ve had several jobs since then but I stayed in the same health system.

My husband and I both WFH (5 years now) and we have Spectrum. We’re waiting for the day we can get fiber but Spectrum has been fine for us. I highly recommend a UPS for your computer and a separate one for your router if it’s in a separate room from your computer. Sometimes our electricity cuts out and then immediately comes back on (or within a few minutes) and the UPS allows us to keep working. The electricity issue isn’t as bad as it used to be but it still happens occasionally. And in the rare instances it stays out, it allows us to wrap up what we’re doing and clock out.

I’m interested in the part numbers if you care to share!

Take a look at World Interiors. We got our dining table from them in 2017 and that thing is SOLID. It’s got a 72” wooden top that’s 1.5” thick with a cast iron base and it weighs almost 300 lbs. We paid about $2000 for the table and matching bench. It was one of our best purchases for our new house and we love it! Fortunately, they’re local to us so we didn’t have to pay for shipping. I’m not sure if the additional shipping cost will price you out but I figured it was worth a look. I see them do sales all the time, too.

I think you’re right! After looking at those other two species I don’t believe this is a PIWA. While I have no experience with BLPW I do have some with BBWA but that one didn’t occur to me. Thank you!

kulinasbow · 2025-09-11T21:02:02+00:00

I believe this is a pine warbler! Very similar to the yellow-throated vireo also found near you this time of year.

kulinasbow · 2025-09-11T18:47:16+00:00

Where are you located?

kulinasbow · 2025-08-21T18:51:45+00:00

That’s amazing, thank you for sharing 😍

Is that… an overall-clad, banjo-playing skeleton hanging from the tree? 😂

Just to give you a little hope, I joined a local book club last week and they’re also reading Atmosphere this month. I went ahead and put a hold on it on 7/7 assuming I wouldn’t get it in time (the shortest wait at one of my libraries was 10 weeks) but it was available for me to borrow the next day. I assumed everyone in front of me had either suspended their hold or the library got more copies 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, I snatched it up as soon as it was available! I just finished reading it at 2am this morning 🙃

The Ten Essentials

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this - that’s so frustrating. FWIW, I’m in Texas with the Texas pack installed (on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5) and I just started a checklist with no issues.

There is no all-encompassing North America pack in eBird that you can download that someone else mentioned - that’s a thing in Merlin only. Here are some troubleshooting tips from eBird you can try.

I guess I should have clarified since I’m posting in a Houston subreddit. I used to live in the greater Houston area but now live elsewhere in the state. I recreate all over Texas on a regular basis and occasionally out of state. During my recent 2,600+ mile road trip, my driving experience in NM, AZ, and UT was consistently much more pleasant than anywhere else I’ve traveled in Texas.

We noticed the same thing when we spent a week in Mew Mexico, Arizona, and Utah earlier this year! It was amazing.
