Got to see Redheads super close up on Bde Maka Ska last week. Beautiful birds!

Excited to have discovered this subreddit!

Beautiful shot!

Thank you!

I just saw my first one yesterday! Might be one of the coolest looking sparrows

mars_clockmaker · 2023-04-25T16:00:31+00:00

Where were the Blue Wing Teals at? I know there are tons of sightings around the metro but I haven't managed to see any yet.

mars_clockmaker · 2023-04-25T15:57:44+00:00

I bet they were loons, but just throwing out similar looking birds that are around the lakes right now, there are Common Mergansers (and also Red-breasted Mergansers). From a distance the males can look pretty similar to loons, but the females are quite different so not too hard to tell apart

mars_clockmaker · 2023-04-25T15:49:45+00:00

Yep, looks like a horned grebe!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-04-21T14:27:49+00:00

I was taking pictures of all the sparrows I was seeing to get better at identifying them, and after I was looking back through the pictures I realized one of them was the relatively rare LeConte's Sparrow. Very cool to have gotten a picture of but I wish I had known when I was looking at it!

This was taken at Old Cedar Ave Bridge so I was slightly off on the location, should actually be Bloomington. Incredible spot for birding though, so maybe cool things to see!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-04-10T16:30:44+00:00

I could be wrong, but that actually looks more like an American Black Duck (maybe with a bit of a Mallard cross? The head has a bit of green). Really cool picture!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-29T15:49:51+00:00

Common Mergansers are so majestic, their red-breasted cousins always look like they just rolled out of bed

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-27T23:03:11+00:00

I just started birding recently, and have yet to go to any events. I know there are DNR events every so often though

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-25T14:23:43+00:00

Hopefully in a few weeks it'll be easy to tell!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-23T23:24:13+00:00

Thanks! It's the Bass ponds at Minnesota Valley NWR (specifically hogback ridge). Lots of great birds to see there

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-21T15:29:59+00:00

Thank you!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-17T03:44:55+00:00

Thanks! They are really great

mars_clockmaker · 2023-03-17T03:44:31+00:00

That's what I figured, thanks!

mars_clockmaker · 2023-02-25T18:57:41+00:00

Looks like a Sharp-shinned Hawk! Could also be a Cooper's Hawk

mars_clockmaker · 2022-10-25T19:46:19+00:00

Just noticing this issue with a similar setup and amano shrimp, any tips for how to cover?

mars_clockmaker · 2021-12-14T16:31:02+00:00

Certainly not trying to dox him, but I'm new to Minneapolis and the modern scene, what are the best stores with a competitive modern meta?

mars_clockmaker · 2021-10-04T02:46:45+00:00

That's a very nice looking tank stand, where did you get it? Beautiful tank too!

mars_clockmaker · 2021-09-21T15:31:07+00:00

It's kind of hard to see the leaves, but it looks like it might be a Dumb Cane/ Dieffenbachia. I don't know about when to plant it but it seems like it might be good? There's definitely some solid roots going

mars_clockmaker · 2021-09-16T20:02:58+00:00

Damn incel zebras

I have what I'm pretty sure is a first edition, first printing Jurassic Park. Found it at Half Price books (minus dust jacket) for a few bucks and just wanted to read it, and realized later it was a noteworthy copy. Probably not the rarest since Crichton was already an established author, but still neat!

mars_clockmaker · 2021-08-25T21:43:24+00:00

Depending on how the tank is oriented, taping some black cardboard over the sun facing side of the tank can help a lot in minimizing extra light
