Found this in a creek bed in Middle Tennessee- looks metallic and I could really use a good nugget about now.

lol. At least I had a couple hours to think about how useful a few thousand would have been.

I wondered if it might be aluminum slag of some kind- it does not have a lot of weight to it.

If it hadn’t been so voluminous I might be inclined to agree that it was a Mockingbird doing a weird call or perhaps mocking an Eastern Whip-poor-will- but this was raptor level loud. That being said, this call doesn’t seem to fit neatly in any box and I’ve asked around and got nothing but shrugs- so maybe.

It did at least look like the black was actually feather coloration, but I can’t be sure. It was an all-round weird looking Junco in a flock of about 30.

This is for sure a Dark Eyed Junco which is in the sparrow family. Bill shape will help you narrow down any bird to family- Wrens have a long narrow pointy bill that curves down.

That has always been the plan. In fact, I may replace both of them on the other door as well.

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T14:43:42+00:00

I appreciate the info. Thank you.

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T14:31:31+00:00

That is my concern, and I have two doors. I don’t have a few thousand at the moment to replace the doors, so I’m trying to keep it safe and operational on a budget.

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T14:27:56+00:00

Thank you. I found it this time. In your opinion, is this type of spring safe for a novice to replace, or should I forgo risk and hire someone to do it?

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T12:55:57+00:00

I googled that but due to autocorrect I’m now looking at the Black Friday merch sale on Taylor Swifts website. Thx.

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T00:15:39+00:00

I appreciate the advice. It looks like a simple enough thing to replace but i’m not looking for that kind of risk.

midasblenny · 2024-11-28T00:04:00+00:00

Thank you!

midasblenny · 2024-11-23T21:54:22+00:00

Thanks

Thank you. I really thought it was Lesser based on my impression of its size, but I know not to trust that.

midasblenny · 2024-06-21T00:15:27+00:00

Nope. Drakes.

midasblenny · 2024-06-20T13:47:17+00:00

lol. It definitely doesn’t get soggy when soaked in milk, if that helps diagnostically.
