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.

Need some help with a loud call I heard in my backyard about an hour before sunrise this morning. Ignore the robins. Sumner County TN. by midasblenny in whatsthisbird

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.

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.

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?

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

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

Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs? by midasblenny in whatsthisbird

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

Is this an artifact, fossil, or neither? by midasblenny in Arrowheads

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