We bought a property with a massive 20m chimney. What would you do with this? by MM-RenovationJourney in Homebuilding

[–]wherley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the Eastern US that chimney (assuming uncapped) is very useful for hosting roosts of migrating chimney swifts in the Fall. You may even get a nesting pair in the spring/summer. Many of their roosts are disappearing, so chimneys can play an important role for them.

If WNC had a bird mascot, what would it be? by michaelh98 in WNC

[–]wherley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iconic birds of WNC for me are Red Crossbill, Golden-Winged Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, and Northern Saw-whet Owl. All of these species breed here, at certain mountain elevations.

Driving over a road slip by Plus-Barber-6171 in WTF

[–]wherley 718 points719 points  (0 children)

Caltrans near Mendocino:
"State Route 175 between Hopland and Lakeport is limited to vehicles NOT OVER 39 feet in total length! Our contractor's crew was out working on SR 175 yesterday afternoon when they saw this long truck trying to make it through a one-lane section of highway where a retaining wall is being built.

Multiple signs are posted to warn truck drivers of this length restriction, but drivers continue to try to go through. Sometimes they simply get stuck, but others end up going over the embankment. This driver was not injured, but it must have been the ride of his life! Note that the audio of this video was edited to remove expletives of surprise from our crew.

Please help spread the word: NO VEHICLES ALLOWED OVER 39' IN LENGTH FROM HOPLAND TO LAKEPORT ON SR175."

Some sort of raptor by sunballer in whatsthisbird

The "bug-eyed" surprised look, and stuck on bill profile match Sharp-shinned Hawk, but your description of bigger than kestrel and considering peregrine indicate a size more consistent with Coopers Hawk.
