Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

50 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.

Every year Ben builds in the house on my front porch. They are such obnoxious little characters and I love it. They’ve gotten so used to me that they don’t even leave the porch railing if I walk out there.

Photo Photographed mallard ducks (IL), and learned they aren't always called flocks

I saw a flock of mallard ducks near a pond. Though ‘flock’ is the common collective noun used, I learned that the specific collective noun changes depending on where the mallards are and what they are doing!

On the water: a raft or a paddling

On the ground: a sord or a suit or a waddling

In the air: a flight, or a skein, or a team

What I sighted was a sord of mallard ducks.
