Me too! They're gorgeous birbs! (Full disclosure, I'm not a birder, I just like having feathered neighbors and encouraging their visits. I've gotten the chickadees to the point where they'll sit on the arms of my chair to eat seed from my hand, the cardinals won't fly off when I come outside, and I'm working on getting the jays and crows to come and hang when I'm outside.
And I've ALMOST got the matriarch of the local squirrel clan to come and eat from my hand. She will come to the back door and knock on it for breakfast though. Drives my cat crazy.
Yeah, mine are the same. They know when I'm putting out peanuts for them and the squirrels, and will gather in the trees and be raucous as all hell until I come out.
eBird never accepts my submissions but it cracks me up when people post elaborate descriptions of obvious IDs in order to satisfy the reviewer. On my last rare bird email there were elaborate paragraphs describing in detail a brown pelican. How much detail does he need, it's brown and it's a pelican. Case closed.
Osprey are my favorite raptors.
*burps*
Sounds like she's got terminal Karen.

Not just ruin, but END. She tried to get him killed.
Only because if she'd gotten away with it, she'd have done it again. And likely succeeded.

'E's pining for the fjords!
Has to be more fun than my neurotic Quaker.
What a nice nice-time story!

feather babies are retrievable? I mean still alive?
This is the silver lining of NextDoor also as well.
I like their screams. I guess technically they are calls, but who are we kidding?
You might as well say that there are no such things as "fishes", taxonomically speaking of course. Polyphyletic bastards.
That we know of, I'll bet some of those unknown feathered orioles had great range as well.
