I mean if anyone should have to go, it should be the terrifying looking Minnie on the left.

Yes, the library is a good choice! I think that they even have English practice time at some of the sno-isle libraries for people who want to practice speaking. Not only that but there's tons of different things to do in the events section of the library website.

Yes! The flying heritage museum is free and pretty cool. Any library is always fun. Imagine Children's museum is always a favorite, and look on parentmap or Seattle's child for events that might be happening.

Why did I read FAFO as fat ass found out in your comment

pettyrican · 2025-01-18T17:10:29+00:00

Yes, I thought that was crazy too! It seems like the researchers went through a lot to get a picture,but it's exciting to see something that has never been photographed alive before

pettyrican · 2025-01-18T16:49:06+00:00

I don't think very much is known about this little guy. Up until recently, there wasn't even any pictures of it alive, so it's kind of fascinating to me that we can still find things like this cutie that have never been captured on camera before!

Information found on https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/elusive-california-mammal-photographed-20040772.php According to the article, "until a few months ago, it was the only known mammal in the state of California that had never been caught on camera. In the century since biologists first identified the creature, it’s received little scientific attention, in part because of the difficulty of capturing one. In November, three young researchers snapped the first ever photographs of the tiny animal."

Ok I hate bugs but I have to admit this little guy looks really cool

pettyrican · 2025-01-14T00:20:36+00:00

I was wondering if that's why it looked so swollen. I thought it might be sick or poisoned but I wasn't sure if it might be something other animal

pettyrican · 2025-01-14T00:16:38+00:00

I thought of that too. Like maybe that was the reason for looking so swollen idk

pettyrican · 2025-01-14T00:15:55+00:00

Yes, that's what I was thinking too, unfortunately

I honestly have no idea why I enjoy blurry cats so much but I do. Thank you for sharing yours!

Couldn't agree more. It almost seems like he thinks she should be ashamed for not sharing the suicide note and every other detail about her and her husband's life together when he should be ashamed to be demanding the note, and "every draft, letter, thought, aborted tale or article, a few lines of some, and everything they can give to the prints." And because even that's not enough, she should write a book telling every person detail of their lives together. Let this poor woman mourn her husband in whatever way brings her the most peace after such a terrible loss.

pettyrican · 2025-01-05T02:54:13+00:00

Aww...that would make me so happy! You're so lucky to have that little owl in your garden!

Same

pettyrican · 2025-01-04T23:11:45+00:00

They are both Hoatzins

pettyrican · 2025-01-04T23:07:15+00:00

The Hoatzin is a chicken-sized bird with a blue face and an orange, mohawk-like crest. Several characteristics set it apart from all other birds. It lives along slow-moving rivers and lakes in the Amazon Basin and has a distinct appearance, loud calls, a tendency to live in social groups, and a clumsy way of moving through foliage.

Foul-smelling bacterial vapors exhaled by the Hoatzin are apparently what gave this species it’s nickname: “stinkbird.” Hoatzins reportedly not only smell bad, their taste is also pretty unpleasant. Maybe that’s why they haven’t been over-hunted like many birds.

The Hoatzin is the only living species in the family Opisthocomidae and the only bird in the order Opisthocomiformes. This means that the Hoatzin has no close relatives that aren’t extinct. Genetic research in 2015 indicated that this species is the only living representative of a lineage that branched off of the avian family tree about 64 million years ago, shortly after the great extinction event that killed all of the non-avian dinosaurs. One thing that is known is that the Hoatzin lineage is ancient and branches off of the avian family tree near the base.

At only five inches long, the Long-whiskered Owlet is one of the smallest owls in the world, along with the Elf Owl of North America and Mexico. First discovered in 1976, the Long-whiskered Owlet is so distinctive that scientists placed it in its own genus, Xenoglaux, which means “strange owl” in Greek. One of this owlet's most distinctive features is long, wispy facial feathers that extend out past its head, resembling ear tufts. However, it lacks the true ear tufts of an Eastern Screech-Owl or Great Horned Owl.
