 Wildcat Phainopepla -6212 on FlickrFound a cool birb on a hike yesterday. Phainopepla! Slightly out of range here, although it could be a fire evacuee.

The Red Queen posted:Heard someone cheeping up a storm so I turned on my feeder camera, and this little guy is just sitting there chirping his head off. Any idea why he's so worked up? It's in the 20's out here and he's usually super shy, never staying in one spot, and always seeming spooked by other birds around. The feeders WERE free of other birds when he was being noisy, though. Wrens being wrens. Maybe spring hormones are starting to kick in or maybe it thought it saw something like a cat or something that you didn’t see.

The Red Queen posted:Another feeder bird - what kind of finch, do you think? Purple or House? I'm leaning toward purple (I live in central KY) because house finches don't seem to be as vibrant or have as much coverage of the red as this one. The heavy streaking on the flanks make it House. They can be really variable in color and brightness.

Not sure about Arkansas but many populations are at least partially migratory so they may be a lot easier to find for you in the fall and winter compared to spring/summer.

I studied these guys in grad school and about 90% of people would tell me “what, they can fly?” and then I had this weird comment from several people that turkeys “were the only bird that can fly straight up in the air” which a) I never got a good explanation what they meant by that, and b) can’t possibly be true regardless. The big fat males have a harder time but they can get up too.

my cat is norris posted:I wonder if they've been pushed out by cowbird babies or something similar. Not impossible, but brown-headed cowbirds usually don't do this. Assuming the cowbird mom timed things right and got the eggs in so that they'd hatch first, cowbird babies can benefit from having the host chicks there since more chicks = more begging to inspire more feeding from the host chicks (and the cowbird chicks gets most of the feeding). It's mostly the old-world cuckoos that do the heave-ho. Sometimes it's just a poorly constructed nest or else a parent that got spooked and while escaping the nest accidentally pushes some babies out. Or occasionally some other species will take over a nest.

I’m getting a rat snake vibe but I only have western field guides right now.

Literally A Person posted:Speaking of the southern Oregon coast is there a reason this rat: You probably have a neighbor using rat poison. Rats get sluggish and then some unsuspecting fox or hawk or owl (or someone’s dog) eats it and gets hosed.

the yeti posted:Sad doots, cool newts I like this There's another photo link you might add to the new thread: Dorkroom Wildlife Photography Thread There's also another birding thread in Pet Island but it probably makes sense just to include the one you have.
