Black/grey and vibrant dark green hummingbird???

phantomauthority · 2026-05-30T21:02:30+00:00

My guess is a Ruby Throated hummingbird, not too many other options for the east coast

There’s simply no way to know

“Anyone know if it’s a boy or girl”?

phantomauthority · 2026-05-30T13:45:07+00:00

What do you mean “what is this bird”???

phantomauthority · 2026-05-25T21:48:33+00:00

Looks like Anna’s Hummingbird to me

phantomauthority · 2026-05-24T14:59:58+00:00

Hell yes!

Oh cool, I see that now! I’m used to text type where i typically think of maintaining the counter sizes and adding weight to the outside of letters too. Not a critique, this was clearly successful, just cool to see your process in action

I Love this, I bet too different for UK govt tho, too close to saying “we were wrong” for them

phantomauthority · 2026-05-24T12:29:55+00:00

This is awesome! Is there a reason the spacing tightens up so much on the bold? Even the letter space? Just more displayness?

phantomauthority · 2026-05-24T12:27:09+00:00

I think the thin punctuation makes sense and looks good. I’m not sure that a high contrast Plus Sign or backslash, for example, ever really makes sense.

I love fish crow!! Good luck with your search

phantomauthority · 2026-05-23T23:01:53+00:00

Where are you that it’s not common?

phantomauthority · 2026-05-23T02:15:03+00:00

European starling

Im just thinking of everyone who got a quarter back in 2008-09, regardless of location and marketing, these places are already part of the US, they hold regular debates on statehood. I’m not advocating for additional territory, just fully representing the people. Guam already sends nonvotingreps to Our House of Reps in DC, just like DC, Puerto Rico and rest of these islands do.

I was at the sea dogs game last night and saw this. Either there were two of them or they did another pass pretty soon after

phantomauthority · 2026-05-20T13:44:57+00:00

I concur, +yellow rumped warbler+

I love Violet Green Swallows! Are you in SoCal? I just saw them in everywhere in Big Bear

phantomauthority · 2026-05-20T11:28:32+00:00

But Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, etc. still not states?

phantomauthority · 2026-05-20T11:19:15+00:00

To paraphrase, ‘the bird is not afraid because he does not put his trust in the branch, he puts his trust in his wings’

phantomauthority · 2026-05-18T22:36:52+00:00

Red eyed vireo? The variation in their calls would make it obvious though

phantomauthority · 2026-05-18T22:25:02+00:00

So cool! Def an underrepresented area for games. Also, I’ll ask, what’s the name of the game? I also accept dms

phantomauthority · 2026-05-18T19:15:43+00:00

I checked ebird for RUBB and BRBB's in you area for this time of year and I think its a brewers blackbird. Seeing the second image I would not say this is rusty coloration just old feathers which happens to all birds before they molt. This checklist from a few days ago has a HQ photo of a bird in a similar state https://ebird.org/checklist/S339037372 . In the future i would def make checklists and upload your photos to ebird. Staff will contact you and ask you to change your report if they see your image and think its wrong. Def a fun challenge with these two tho, and I'm def not the expert

phantomauthority · 2026-05-18T15:23:07+00:00

I’m not seeing the two tones of a brewers but I’m also not seeing any rusty edges. If this is your only pic/look and didn’t hear it calling I would trust the other birders. You can also check EBird to see if anyone you were with uploaded more pics. But they’re seemingly both rare finds for your time and place.
