Disable 'em. Problem solved.

Absolutely nothing special here. We're installing a software upgrade on an application server. I could sit in the A/C and watch the progress bar creep across the screen for an hour-plus, or walk the perimeter of the plant property at 90F. Guess which one I chose? https://ebird.org/checklist/S113692160

Strange Hummer behavior - ¿sick?
Charlie Spencer replied to Aveschapines's topic in General Birding Topics
Mites? Localized skin issue? -
@grrtt91, welcome to Whatbird! The front bird shows white bars on either side of the blue wing patch (speculum). I'm with @RobinHood; this is a Mallard trait. Would you be more specific about where in North Carolina? Thanks.

What bird name would like to change?
Charlie Spencer replied to jimbarnett's topic in General Birding Topics
AAB is strictly North America. Try Birds of the World or even (*gasp*) Google. -

Or the lack thereof. I'll often click 'Guess' without entering a species. I opened today with a Carolina Chickadee, so I didn't even have the right genus. From there I went to Black-and-white, so at least I got in the neighborhood. I skipped the third and fourth, and got it on the fifth. I'm not sure how I could have used a guide or reference to narrow it down, or if I'm willing to spend the time. -
The only good aphid is a dead aphid. preferably sucked dry by a ladybug.

Oh, no; not again. That's what you said about no days below 40F last winter. Good luck passing that 'money', by the way. -
It’s easy when you’ve seen as many PAPI as I have. After a while, the occasional Rock just stands out. GISS, ya know?

Help ID this bird, please
Charlie Spencer replied to grange's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
@grange, this is a normal behavior. It's called 'dust bathing'. i don't recall the exact reason why the do it; I think it helps with mites and other parasites. I've also seen some birds in the same posture but no moving, just lying in the sun. -
I'm still funnier than you are.

Interesting. There's no obvious way to flag it like there is on Macaulay.

To whom do I make a sacrifice in exchange for not exceeding 90F the rest of the summer? -

Non-birding spouses, eh? Discuss; use back of page if necessary. Oh, and 67F this morning. Feels like 55.
