Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

53 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.

We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:

A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.
A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.
A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.

There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.

Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

Bonus osprey and reminder that even if it’s not perfect it’s still your life, make sure you appreciate it.

Preflight checklist: Lighten the load. ✅😂 This osprey at Whitnall Park Pond offered a useful photography cue—pooping can mean takeoff is coming. Did I get the flight shot? Nope. We were both on the go. Franklin, WI. 📷: Aaron Johnson

Hello everyone. Apologies for the blurry pick but this visit was fleeting. We spotted this guy about a week ago. He also has some other white feathers.

Close Encounter of the "Night Heron" Kind

gallery

39 Upvotes

This Yellow-Crowned Night Heron landed in a tree almost directly above me as I was walking the trail on Creekfield Lake, Brazos Bend State Park in southeast Texas. All photos are full frame (35mm) with no crop. They show a progression of my backing away to get more of the bird in my frame using a 600mm lens.
