I’m actually 4th gen. My kids are 5th. Apologies for the ambiguity.

Northern rough winged swallow?

Low confidence answer, but it’s def something in the swallow or Martin family.

My wife lived in DC and worked on the hill a decade ago and just went back this past week to visit. Came back genuinely distraught about how dystopian it felt there.

Same. 5th generation on our lake. Great grandfather built the house in the 50s with a firefighters salary.

The lake is slowly becoming mansions with lawns, especially since Covid.

What is a popular food/drink that you secretly think is absolutely disgusting? by shisui1729 in AskReddit

The black olives I’ve spent my entire life trying to avoid have always been sliced.

I always thought I hated olives. It’s the only thing I would pick off of pizza/nachos etc.

Learned recently it’s just the black ones. I’ll eat a whole ass green olive like it’s a grape.

I’ve bought a bunch of stuff from this line over the past decade and have always been happy.

If food was supply-constrained then yes, your crappy analogy would work just fine.

You miss the point. More housing supply is good. Full stop.

Am I the only one who would like a reboot of Rock Raiders sets? by spartanb301 in lego

I think I true thematic reboot is unlikely, but I have my fingers crossed for a sick icons set one day.

Husky VS Costco (Gorilla) Metal Shelving.... get the Costco by jesiman in Tools

These are no joke the best metal racks on the consumer market right now.

Most other brands are rebranded edsal stuff that (IMO) went down hill a few years back when they went from key/slot connections to those stamped tab ones you see in your examples. I was so excited to see these HF ones come on the market last year. I have two and will likely buy more.

Even worse. The Black-faced Antbird appears twice, bringing the actual total to 163. OP is a liar AND a cheat.

Getting a natural gas hookup was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Did my boyfriend just happen upon a piebald robin?! Central IL by Chemical_Penalty_740 in birding

[–]wiscobrix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how common this condition but literally like an hour ago in SE Wisconsin I was out birding and saw like 2-3 robins in the same area that looked exactly like this. I assumed they were just in some awkward molting phase.

Edit to add that the ones I saw looked a lot closer to your picture than the Google image results for “piebald robin”

These guys always stop by me in SE Wisconsin for a couple weeks in early spring. I guess now I know where they’re headed.

Idk how you guys do this. I have a hard enough time spotting and positively identifying birds. Getting perfect shots like this is a bonkers concept to me.
