As someone who models Community science data for a living right now (including eBird data) this kind of disrespectful entitlement makes my blood boil.

Thanks for being so selfish you’re wrecking the data quality for everyone who uses the data, from birders to scientists.
Facebook post with user obscured. Text reads: Well, I did my usual gig and found 100 bird species on the first day of the year. Which is cool. But to my friends at Cornell. I wanted to create a list for Atlantic County New Jersey, USA. The app would not let me do that., I was not able to figure out how to do a county list. So this list is set at the Refuge, meaning EBF NWR NJ USA, but in fact it's the entirety of Atlantic County, NJ. And I haven't even made it to Longport yet. I've been talking with some unnamed professional colleagues about just how soft eBird data is. It is so soft it's not even data. If there's a way to do a county list anymore, I would love to know. The checklist includes: 2000 Snow Goose 300 Brant

this is one of the funniest reddit comments i have ever stumbled across
[deleted] - 3y ago tips on removing iron-on patches? | recently found a jacket at an op shop (thrift store) that someone has already added patches to. some of them are cool, others are... not so cool, so I'm hoping to remove the not so cool patches and make the jacket into something that is more my own. anyone got tips on removing the patches without damaging the denim?

I've found a cool channel on YouTube-
Nashville Bird Cam.
Casper & Sunny were glued to the tv, for at least 10 minutes, until I changed the view. Then they went to sleep (to dream of birds probably).

I was not in suit later that night. I did find a really cool Death Wolf suit, and a suiter with a didgeridoo, neither of which I can ID 😅
I also found @taggzzz.rocks and @derpydevin.bsky.social in their villainous attire! Fit check succeeded!

I found this rock in the middle of nowhere UT*. I didn't realize it was not just a cool rock until I got home. It seems to have some ancient graffiti on it, plus, bird head!

Hey bird girl! I think it's awesome that you're considering doing more video game reviews! It's so cool that you've found a unique way that works for you, even if it involves sleep deprivation and reviewing games you're not super fond of. 😂 Maybe that's what makes your reviews so special and sets

hello, thank you so much for the share! ❤️ recently i found out i may be able to take meds for my progressive disease for the first time ever! and also i got a new powerchair which allows me to move around the city (have to test it yet!!!)
A digital waist-up artwork of a dark-haired feminine character, with very pale complexion and pointy ears, lurking in the dark water while one of their hand is ever so subtly reaching out to the camera. They seem to notice the viewer, slightly looking at the camera with a subtle smile, showing teeth, and their eyes are big and black. The hair is long and wet, laying messily on their shoulders. The character is dressed in a black sleeveless dress which is drenched. The background is dark, showing surface water drawn with textured brushstrokes. Colors are very dark with different cool shades of purple. There's a watermark bottom left corner: "hortensjjja, commissioned by ayfa". End ID. A digital waist-up artwork of a feminine smiling character with one hand touching their jawline gently while being under the apricot tree with a graveyard in the background. They have a warm green complexion, auburn hair styled into two bubble braids, intense orange eyes and branch-like horns sprouting from their head decorated with autumn leaves. She has a few moles on her face, especially two above her lips on her right; round orange berries hanging from her pointy ears. She is dressed in a colorful, layered dress with laces and flowy fabrics tucked into a two-colored (yellow and mint) corset. On one of her shoulders, there's a pink fabric resting. The colors are somewhat warm and dark with orange accents being most intense. There's a watermark at the bottom left corner: "hortensjjja" with a cute frog logo. A digital portrait of an Asian man tilting his head upwards ever so slightly while holding a red eye above his face, close to his missing eye. He has gray hair and one dark eye that is looking at the camera. His lips are slightly parted and he has a silver piercing on his lower lip. He's dressed in a black nondescript jacket with a white turtleneck and he wears a skull earring. Two of his fingers are prosthetic. The background is dark pink and there's a circle decorating around Su-jin's head, with a small bird sitting on the branch.

I’m in Snowdonia where @autumn-d.bsky.social and I are visiting locations in Susan Coopers’ classic, The Grey King - part II of The Dark is Rising sequence. Craig yr Aderyn, Assembly Rooms, Carreg Cadfan, Tal y Llyn, Llyn Mwyngil, the lake in the pleasant place under the shadow of the Grey King.
Cameo and Autumn take a photo with Craig yr Aderyn, also known as Bird's Rock - a hill rising to a height of 258 metres above sea level on the south bank of the River Dysynni near Llanfihangel-y-Pennant in the county of Gwynedd, north-west Wales. “Wait a moment.” An instruction was growing inside Will’s memory, like an echo from another world. Standing with his feet planted firmly on the last stair, he put the palms of both hands flat against the rough unseen rock face barring their way, and he pushed. At the same time he said certain words in the Old Speech that came into his mind. And the rock parted, silently, as it had when the great doors opened silently on Bird Rock, though no music sounded here. With Bran and Cafall at his heels, Will stepped forward into a faint glow of light that caught him into such wonder that he could only stand and gaze. They were no longer where they had been. They stood somewhere in another time, on the roof of the world. All around them was the open night sky, like a huge black inverted bowl, and in it blazed the stars, thousand upon thousand brilliant prickles of fire. Will heard Bran draw in a quick breath. They stood, looking up. The stars blazed round them. There was no sound anywhere, in all the immensity of space. Will felt a wave of giddiness; it was as though[…]” Excerpt From The Grey King Susan Cooper https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-grey-king/id381540320 This material may be protected by copyright. A building that says “Assembly Room 1893” - bright red, with a Cinema marquee below. “ “Choosing at random, hoping to see the sea, he turned right up the narrow curving High Street. Before long he found that there would be no sea this way: nor anything but shops, houses, a cinema with an imposing Victorian front grandly labelled ASSEMBLY ROOMS, and the slate-roofed lychgate of a church.” Excerpt From The Grey King Susan Cooper https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-grey-king/id381540320 This material may be protected by copyright. Two women stand next to an oddly shaped tall stone with ancient 8th century old welsh written on it. From The Grey King: “He turned into the little churchyard, to see if there might be any brasses here. The church porch was low-roofed, deep as a cave; inside, the church was shadowy and cool, with sturdy white painted walls and massive white pillars. Nobody was there. Will found no brasses for rubbing, but only monuments to unpronounceable benefactors, like Gruffydd ap Adda of Ynysy-maengwyn Hall. At the rear of the church, on his way out, he noticed a strange long grey stone set up on end, incised with marks too ancient for him to decipher. He stared at it for a long moment; it seemed like an omen of some kind, though of what significance he had not the “then, in the porch on his way out, he glanced idly up at the notice-board with its scattering of parish news, and he saw the name: Church of St. Cadfan. The whirling came again in his ears like the wind; staggering, he collapsed onto the low bench in the porch. His mind spun, he was back suddenly in the roaring confusion of his illness, when he had known that something, something most precious, had slipped or been taken away from his memory. Words flickered through his consciousness, without order or meaning, and then a phrase surfaced like a leaping fish: “On Cadfan’s Way where the kestrels call…” His mind seized it greedily, reaching for more. But there was no more. The roaring died away; Will opened his eyes, breathing more steadily, the giddiness draining gradually out of him. He said softly, aloud, “On Cadfan’s Way where the kestrels call… On Cadfan’s Way…” Outside in the sunshine the grey slate tombstones and green grass glimmered, with jewel-glints of light here and there from droplets of rain still clinging to the longest stems from the day before. Will thought, “On the day of the dead… the Grey King… there[…]” Excerpt From The Grey King Susan Cooper https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-grey-king/id381540320… A calm lake - Lyn Mwyngil, looking up at Craig Lwyd, the Grey King. the Brenin Llwyd behind his mist over Cader and Llyn Mwyngil, Tal-y-lyn.

I drew Sandman from #skullpanda You Found Me series as an #angel ! #skullpandafanart #popmart #skullpandayoufoundme
My drawing of an angel in winter attire gazing dreamily at the viewer. She has cool-toned medium brown skin, curly blonde hair in a short bob, white bird wings in place of ears, sleepy jade-green eyes, an upturned nose and pouty lips. She is wearing a taupe pea coat, and a cream coloured scarf, the ends of which have turned into opened wings. She has a halo around her head. She has a golden star painted on her forehead, and matching stars under her eyes. One of her hands is raised to her chest and curled slightly, like she's clutching an invisible rosary. Behind her halo is the word "Me!"

Birding buddy texted me today and I instantly knew the jerk saw a cool bird 🤣 (He finally saw a pacific wren! I found one before he did and it’s been a fun little teasing session since. Now I need a new bird that he hasn’t seen!)
Screenshot of a text. The birding buddy: “Today is an auspicious day.” My reply: “What did you find”

One OC I'm really excited to share is Armando Alainz. I love this guy a lot for his focus on wrestling, something I enjoy because of how cool they look. I also found him pretty sweet to write about, given that he's a single father caring for an adopted witch daughter.
Armando taunting his opponent by flipping the bird. Armando hefting his arm high in the air, showing off. His blue shirt is torn from battle, hanging from one shoulder. Ref sheet of Armando in wrestling gear, as Rabid Rabbit. He has a red cape, with blue trunks, boots, and glove. He wears a rabbit mask. Armando in casual outfit. He has a blue polo shirt, with beige dress pants. He has an apron of a rabbit over his clothing.

I was today years old when I found out that tailow has the same colouration as the irl swallow and I'm like. I thought they just give a cool paint-job to a real life bird, not copy it wholesale???

Hey @wiscobirder.bsky.social look what I found in the October issue of The Isthmus! Very cool that copies of your birding book will be given out. 👏👏 🪶
A clipping from a local Madison, Wisconsin newspaper featuring three speakers at events in late October. There’s a small photo of each speaker and a short blurb about their talk. Dexter Patterson is one of the speakers, talking about his new bird field guide on October 26th.

I was close enough to Destin that my love for Gulls drew me to the coast to check out the gorgeous Gray Gull. This bird is usually only found on the Pacific Coast of South America and breeds in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Very cool vagrant.

Found cool things while I was in the woods today!
A delightfully shiny little mushroom! No idea what kind, so if anyone mycologically-minded wants to chime in, feel free! Another mushroom, very colourful- I like it looks a bit like molten lava! An abandoned bird nest. Fairly shallow. Nest in my hand so you can get an idea of the size. Seems to be made largely of pine straw, which is unsurprising south of James River.
