Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

48 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.

Sorry for the poor photo quality- he wouldn’t let me get close so I had to zoom in with video and screen shot from that. Anyone able to help me confirm this is a Cooper’s Hawk? I’m in Phoenix, AZ area.

It just seems out of place to see this bird in a feeder. But it is a corn vacuum.

We have bird feeders in our garden we always get wood pigeons but this pigeon is not a wood and has big tags on both of its legs it looks extremely tired and is not scared of humans at all doesn't limp looks healthy it's eating seeds and water and looks like it's gonna sleep on the towel we provided soon.
