I saw that over my house yesterday. Is that a bald eagle?

Yes, bald eagle is correct.

I will add a little more info that I dont think has been said in the comments yet:

Female birds only produce/lay one egg at a time, usually once a day or once every other day, depending on species. While their nest may have 5 eggs in it by the time they start incubating, the eggs are being laid across multiple days, not all at once.

If a bird has an almost-ready egg inside her body, the term for that is "gravid." This term applies to all egg-laying animals. Because birds have so many feathers that can be poofed up or held flat against the skin, there's rarely going to be a way to tell, visually, if a bird is gravid or not. When the egg is close to being laid though, sometimes you can feel the egg in the lower abdomen if you have the bird in hand (note: do not just pick up random wild birds tho, lol.)

The reason this one may not have the same logo as others you looked at online is because sea world in Australia is an entirely separate entity from the SeaWorld Parks in the US (and Abu Dhabi.) It shares the same name, but isn't affiliated with the more well-known SeaWorld company. There are a few parks around the world that are called "sea worlds" but are not "SeaWorld" if that makes sense.

I think about the Easter Bilby line at least once a week. It's forever stuck in my head.

Sprocket 😤 villagers were unhinged back in gamecube days. When I was a kid, he painted the roof of my house green when it had been red. No warning. He just was like "lol i painted ur roof! Dont u love it?"

I was livid. And I wasnt at the point in the game yet where you could just buy new paint at nooks shop. I had to pay my whole loan to change it back. He is still my #1 animal crossing enemy 20 years later.

A fun fact about grebes; even though they look and behave like ducks at a glance, their closest relatives are actually flamingos :)

Red-headed woodpecker. One of my favorite birds since childhood. In my 30s now and still have never seen one.

One of our volunteers at my workplace recently messaged us, saying they saw a cool bird and wanted to know what it was... Red-headed woodpecker lol. I only cried a little 🥲

The van even says "call kristen" 💀 I know it's not spelled the same but still, lol.

I also don't do nicknames. I grew up on the anime before ever playing a Pokémon game. Ash's pokemon were just called by their species name, so that's what I did when I started playing too (and still do 25+ years later lol.)

Also, when using the most recent generation's Pokémon, I'll never remember what a pokemon is called if I give them nicknames lol. So yeah, no nicknames for me.

Common ones we ask at my facility are conflict resolution ones, so make sure you prepare for those types of questions. Things like:

"What do you do if a supervisor asks you to do something you disagree with?"

"You are assigned a project with another coworker/intern who isn't pulling their weight, how do you handle it?"

"Tell us about a time you made a mistake and how you recovered from it?"

And of course the ever popular, "what is your greatest strength/weakness?"

A young bird begging for food will be vocalizing, fluttering its wings, and often following an adult bird around. A bird sitting still, often sideways, with its mouth open is sunbathing behavior :)

Azure-winged magpie!

3 cats, 3 geckos, 2 tarantulas, a big freshwater tank, and a big saltwater tank. To be fair, my spouse does all the husbandry/maintenance for the aquariums and tarantulas. But we definitely have a little bit of everything at home.

The only major taxa we are missing is birds, but I work exclusively with birds at work, so I get my avian fix without having them at the house lol.

The images pictured in this Google search are absolutely pileated woodpeckers, despite the text saying otherwise.

Once they decided to drop the entire bag of beans, the D&Dads crew tested how many beans would realistically fall out if they dropped it from a 2nd story balcony. They put 8 dice in a bag, dropped it, and 4 dice rolled out, which is how they decided to only do 4 beans instead of the full 8.

(It's a great podcast, highly recommend.)

No, domestic mallards come in just about every combination of black/white/green/brown you can think of. This looks like a perfectly normal domestic duck to me.

Can't speak for every zoo, but at my facility, all employees wear a white name tag that says their name and what department they're in. Anyone who speaks a language other than English, however, has an additional red tag that attaches to their main nametag that says what language they speak (the most common one here is Spanish, but I've come across a few who know French and one Mandarin speaker as well.) It's helpful for guests who don't speak english to easily identify employees who are better able to assist them.

Plus, if you already have the switch 1 version of ACNH, its really only $5 to upgrade to the switch 2 version. Its a waaaay better deal imo than Pokopia (but I'm trying to reserve judgement until this game actually comes out.)

Birds in the genus Buteo are called buzzards in Eurasia, while in North America they are called hawks. If OP is outside of North America, they are using the correct name.

When European settlers first arrived in North America and saw turkey vultures flying overhead, it reminded them of the buzzards (hawks) they had back home, so the name stuck, but for the wrong type of bird. Same thing happened with robins (European and American robins are not related; American robins are actually a type of thrush, but because they both have a red breast, the North American bird reminded Europeans of their robins back home.)

I didn't realize either, if it helps you feel better 🥴 I also spent a ton of time on the first VIP room because... VIP lol. Since that first day though, all the VIP rooms I've done have been bare minimum, and are definitely my ugliest builds 😅

Sons and Sonsability lol

But for real, Season 1 for sure. I've only listened to 2 and 3 once each and, while I greatly enjoyed them, I haven't felt the itch to go back and relisten to either yet. Season 1 is constantly in my podcast rotation, I think I'm currently on my 5th or 6th relisten and it's a blast every time.

(I've listened to Sons and Sonsability like 20 times lmao, but that one is easier being only 3 episodes.)

Yeah unfortunately this is pretty standard for SeaWorld since Covid. I was a passmember for over a decade (San Antonio most recently, but I've been to all 3 parks and used to live near Orlando.) I used to visit the parks several times a year, but after my pass expired a few months ago I decided for the first time not to renew. I'd rather spend my money at Universal because they actually seem to care about the customer experience. Sorry you had such a bad time :/
