Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

55 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.

First time spotting this bird! The photos aren’t the best quality because it was REALLY well hidden in the tree. I almost didn’t see it lol. Are they common? I’ve never seen one before! 😂

Went for a walk at my local park and was pleasantly surprised to find this night heron among the domesticated ducks and geese that call the pond home.

This was my first time seeing one these in real life...bower and all. 😄 It is amazing how the feathers go from pitch black to bright iridescent blue based on reflective angle.

North Pond is located in Lincoln Park on the north side of Chicago. I have seen this same bird at North Pond for a few weeks now, the brown band on the bird’s chest indicates it is a female. The Great Blue Heron has been on the pond all summer.
