TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 On the upside, it looks like I'll be able to switch over to AAA insurance and save a good chunk of money, so at least one good thing came from me being pissed off enough to just call every customer service company I had a beef with today. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) =O That paper sword is so cool, @Darkness Ascendant!! My good news: My birding field trip starts tomorrow!! My ornithology class (~60 students, plus 2 TAs and our professor) will be spending most of Thursday driving to a remote ranch in southern Utah's desert, stopping at multiple hotspots along the way to birdwatch. We'll spend all of Friday on the ranch chasing birds and drive back on Saturday, possibly stopping to bird some more on the way back, depending on how exhausted everyone is. I am unbelievably excited about this trip. Like, all of these at once: The only downside is that the ranch has no Internet, so I'll be offline for the vast majority of the next three days. I might find some Wi-Fi when we stop for meals during the drive there and back, but no guarantees. But hopefully I'll have lots of photos of cool birds to share when I get back!

Darkness Ascendant Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I Got this mad book about how Tolkien basically worldbuilt Middle Earth. I find the concept of a Myth Time absolutely fascinating, and I'm planning on doing something similar in this technomythology book series I'm making, except instead of magic going out, technology gets a massive setback, putting people back to "modern" times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I got back from my 3-day birdwatching field trip yesterday, and it was AMAZING! Before the trip, I had 104 species on my semester list for my ornithology class, and after the trip, I now have 142 =D That includes 18 new kinds of birds that I'd never seen before in my life, so I am a very happy camper. We left Thursday morning from Provo and spent most of the day driving, stopping along the way to look at birds. Our destination was Lytle Ranch in southwestern Utah. I'm told the drive takes about 5 hours if you do it nonstop, but we stretched it out with birding breaks and food breaks so that we arrived at about 7pm. We slept there Thursday night, spent all of Friday on the ranch birding, slept there again Friday night, and began the drive back to Provo on Saturday morning after a little more birding, breakfast, and cleanup. We stopped a few places on the drive back too. Here are some of my favorite birds from the trip (not my photos, since I haven't had time to process mine yet): Black-necked Stilt: Spoiler (Can you see why he's called a stilt?? XD) Peregrine Falcon: Spoiler I've seen one before, but that doesn't mean it's not still super cool! Long-billed Curlew: Spoiler Bell's Vireo and Warbling Vireo (Check out how similar they look): Spoiler Bell's Vireo above, Warbling Vireo below Thankfully their songs are noticeably different, and both of them sang for me. (In fact, I didn't even see the Bell's Vireo at all and spent all Friday morning frustrated before I managed to match my video recording of his song to recordings in my field guide app.) Phainopepla (pronounced FAY-no-pep-luh): Spoiler These little cuties were EVERYWHERE on the ranch. They're a little smaller than a robin and like to sit in the very tops of trees whistling. Lucy's Warbler: Spoiler These little guys were singing pretty much nonstop everywhere I went on the ranch, but I didn't realize what I was hearing until one popped out of the brush where I could see him. New life bird! Ladder-backed Woodpecker: Spoiler This is a small woodpecker, only about 7 inches (17.5 cm) long, and she looks and sounds a lot like a more common and widespread bird called a Downy Woodpecker (below). (I'm referring to the birds as "she" because the Ladder-backed Woodpecker I saw was a female. Males of both species have red on their heads.) Verdin: Spoiler This little guy was super special for me for several reasons: 1) I'd never ever seen one before. 2) I spotted him myself, when I was birding alone early in the morning before breakfast on Saturday. 3) They're "desert specialty" birds; you won't find them in urban/suburban areas. 4) Isn't he just gorgeous?? Costa's Hummingbird: Spoiler I found the Costa's Hummingbird barely a minute after the Verdin. He zoomed past me and hovered at some flowers to drink, giving me just enough time to get my binoculars up and get a good look to see his brilliant iridescent purple before he zoomed away again. Abert's Towhee: Spoiler We found this guy at a park in St George where someone had previously reported spotting one, and almost as soon I got out of the van I spotted him running around on the other side of the parking lot, acting like a roadrunner. XD It was pretty funny, and I was proud of myself for spotting him first out of like 60 people in my class. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
