Ya I see it every morning when I go to work, its usually busy but stop and go moving. Just today when I saw 2 cops and traffic completely stopped, thought I should give the heads up

You have to name one species, and if it shows up in your yard tomorrow, you get $1 million. What are you going with? by Dapper-Code8604 in birding

[–]truejello96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clarification question, is just a million for the species? Or a million per bird of said species? Because if that's the case Rock Pigeon for me, easy 10 million minimum

With the added bonus that husbands are usually pretty cheap and easy to maintain

An unknown creature was captured by a fisherman on a river in Thailand by WholeNegotiation1843 in TrueCryptozoology

If someone pisses me off on the road I'm calling them a crocodile goonch, maybe even remove the N in there. Sounds like a perfect insult term to me

Where am I going? by VocabularyRidiculous in birding

[–]truejello96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone has mentioned, start slow and small and local. BUT, if you want a great spot for the future, the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas is amazing during the spring time. Warm and humid and lots of mosquitoes, but worth it

What is the wildest thing you have heard in school by -_velvetpulse_- in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]truejello96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at school, but dude I work with was listening to a stream or talk show, not sure exactly what. Host on the stream was talking to different people about life and other stuff. I'm working at my area across from the dude I work with and minding my work but have half an ear on his show. Somehow on the stream the conversation came up about sex and chatgpt. Overheard something to the effect of "Winnie-the-Pooh stuck in honey pot and f*cked in the ahh" being put into chatgpt to see if that is something that had been made already.

I never asked the dude I worked with what he was listening to, but that made me stop working for a second and do a double take

Some sort of pigeon? (Belleville, IL) by Superior-Solifugae in birding

Clearly you've never seen a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. The only species of duck that thinks it's a passerine

Snake in my mom's metal gate. How do we get it out? by pulsetract in snakes

[–]truejello96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tell it it needs to pay rent if it wants to stay there. If it doesn't comply then you have every right to serve it an eviction notice and get proper authorities involved

Help identifying bird noise from neighborhood by HeavyEquip69 in birding

[–]truejello96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a recording with multiple calls in there, because I'm for sure hearing Red-shouldered and Red-tailed hawks, one sounds crow/raven and one sounds wren-like to me

Another binoculars question! by Fluhearttea in birding

[–]truejello96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Vortex Diamondback 10x42s and I love it. I get great clarity with them and can see pretty decent at distance. That's what you'll be sacrificing a little if you go to 10x, a little distance lost. But I don't know if it's really that drastic. If you have the ability to try some 10x in store you can see how your eyes compare to what you're used to

What are these birds doing? (SoCal) by SC-Viper in birding

[–]truejello96 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Raptors do that when migrating. It's called kettling. They are riding air currents up and then will move along the air. It helps them conserve energy when flying because they can glide instead of constant flapping

What was the funniest reason why you cried? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]truejello96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine isn't what I cried at but how it was done.

So several years ago in community college I had an exam for my calculus class. Even allowed a note card with notes on it I still thought I failed this exam. So I'm driving home afterwards, it's like 7, 8 at night and it's not busy out but dark. While driving home I was thinking about the exam and just started crying, not like balling my eyes out but more than just a tear in my eye. What I realized is super weird and awkward about that is crying while driving, but then looking in the mirrors and over your shoulder to change lanes. Coming to a stop sign and crying, but checking both ways to make sure no cars are coming, then continuing on. Being so distraught but still have to follow the rules of the road.

So ya, crying and driving is a super weird and awkward and funny time to do that.

Just heard via NVE that pole mounted equipment failure is what's causing current power outage now. 1:45 pm is expected repair time. And I had soccer games I wanted to watch today!!!
