What's a trend people outside of your field / hobby are probably unaware of?
  • I'm a birder. Lots of birds were named after people...Scott's Oriole for example. You may think a guy named Scott discovered the bird, but nope, just a friend of the guy that did. Scott wasn't a good guy according to history (re: killing native Americans), so there's a big committee that's going to rename a ton of birds that have eponymous names. The birding community is very split on the topic and it's interesting to see the drama.

  • So fucking weirdly creepy
  • If you see one of these shirts in the wild, put them on the spot, especially if you have a young kid with you. Tell them your kid doesn't understand the shirt, could they please explain it to them.

  • Fire that killed 1.3 million chickens in Illinois
  • Extinguishers wouldn't do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that's probably never going to be installed. You'd have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.

  • I think I got a pretty decent bino shot of a double-crested cormorant. Today in northeast Ohio.
  • Thanks, there are some neat advances in technology to help with enhancing cellphone photos, yes, some of them involve AI to help upscale the resolution and refine the details. If you're on Instagram you can check out my content on 'theCronicBirder'

  • Not OP, but all I do is digiscope and, yes, all OP needs to do is edit the pic on their phone, hit the button that "auto-adjusts" the colors, etc. And it usually looks way better. Here's an example, I took through a scope, afterwards I used more advanced software magic:

  • My Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope with Ollin magnetic adapter. I go birding, and take bird videos with this combo. Super easy to digiscope with (no more fidgeting with the adapter) and the magnification on the scope is pretty powerful. Shameless plug for my Instagram @thecronicbirder
