Sorry to hear that you're not going to be playing in the dirt this weekend.

Playing with the finds is an okay thing to do when the weather is ugly outside.
 

Now this is for all of you pirates that don't understand what the other pirates are referring to when they mention the temperature.

Good Morning TN Crew! :hello: :coffee2:

So the first image is the "Ivory Billed" woodpecker. Firstly notice the white backline and white tail feathers, slightly different then the Pileated Woodpecker. Supposedly extinct, but inconclusive by the national wildlife committee, due to numerous reported sightings in the southern US swamps. I believe somewhere remote this bird could still exists. We have thousands of acres of undisturbed swamps in the southeast which could I believe could still hold this beautiful bird. I will soon post my personal pics of a possible "cross breed" but not the true Ivory billed.
The second picture is the Carolina Parakeet which is presumably extinct as well. This was determined within the last 60 or so years but I'm also a skeptic. About 13 years ago I was on the outskirts of the Croatan National Forest (one of the Largest in NC), standing in a friends yard when we noticed a green parrot up in the tree. The homeowner reported it had visited the year before. It wasn't there long enough for me to picture. I was for sure it was a neighbors pet that had escaped and could not be captured. But I began to think, if it was seen the prior year, how did this bird survive the winter and how did it fly if most pet birds have their wings clipped. I had also just become very interested into birding as an avid hunter and love for waterfowl. Not just for the hunt of killing but the hunt of picture taking.
So these days I've become so interested in the search for these two species, and as I become closer to retiring I will be more dedicated on the amazing search. Wish me luck 🕵️‍♂️
You had me at undisturbed swamp. Good hunting to ya on the ivorybilled and parrot.

Our pileated pair cleared out.
We're seeing what we suspect are the pairs young. (Suet and feeders two sides of home and oakwoods beside and behind).
One was out back briefly a couple days ago. But I don't know if it was one of the prior pair or not...
 

How do you convert F to C easily?


Simply follow the following formula:
  1. Take the °F temperature and subtract 32.
  2. Multiply this number by 5.
  3. Divide this number by 9 to obtain your answer in °C.
  4. Give that Pepper a slap :laughing7:
Or....

 

Well congratulations on the new position 👏.

An Oklahoma cowboy has the bull$hit on the outside of his boots! Good luck!
