Charlie Spencer Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hummingbirds - I've found it's very difficult to teach them critical thinking or logic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Back to the point at hand - this county has a really weird filter. Veery is a red but not Rare, even though there has *never* been a Veery reported in the county, and only a handful in neighboring ones in the last ten years. Same with flammulated owl, etc etc. But our predominant subspecies for the most (or close to most) abundant sparrow goes out on the Rare Bird Alert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, if anyone would like to come mow the yard they are welcome to do it. There is just a tad over 300 trees you will need to go around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Military brats probably have more in common with home schoolers than with the 'normal' kids who lived in the same town seeing the same friends and enemies for 12 years. It definitely had some down sides but I wouldn't trade it now. So many places, so many people, so many sights...
