Sunbird she/her Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 44 minutes ago, A Budgie said: @Sunbird those are really cute! Also, we saw a little baby bird yesterday. We think it was an owlet. It was super cute, although unfortunately we had to put it in a box and take it away before its mother could come and collect it. Squeee, baby owls!! I assume since you collected it in a box, you intend to take it to a wildlife rehabilitator so they can care for it, am I right? Do you think you could post a picture? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although we didn't actually take it anywhere. A bystander was willing to take it up, but we had to prepare for a concert. I don't have any photos, but I plan to get them off a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seonid he/him Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 So...I have a job interview for tomorrow! Background: I've been out of work for two months, since I graduated and moved out of the city we were living in. I quit my full-time, exceptional benefits job, and moved down to a new city to be closer to family. My wife found a part-time job, but it's very stressful on her, so we're both really hoping that this job works out. It was a good thing, ultimately, because I got out from under a bad boss - in fact, that's the only reason I considered moving to a new city when my wife suggested it. And this new job is actually related to my field of study, and pretty much is the textbook definition of a perfect job for me. So I'm excited about the interview and extremely nervous at the same time. On net, this is a good news type of post, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hummingbirds I took these pictures on the 4th of July, and they're all of males because the males are the prettiest. XD Broad-tailed Hummingbirds (2 photos): Spoiler Black-chinned Hummingbirds (2 photos): Spoiler Rufous Hummingbird (1 photo): Spoiler Believe it or not, he was actually flying away from the feeder in this photo, and yes, that means he was flying backwards! Hummers are just awesome like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift he/him Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I don't think I can recommend Spiderman: Homecoming enough. Honestly. Got to go see it after work yesterday, and it was one of the most enjoyable theater things I'd seen in quite a while.

A Budgie she/her Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 So, some of you might remember that I'm currently on a music tour. Well, for part of that tour, we went to a festival/competition in Europe. My guitar ensemble got a gold score and we were the best in our category. I am a happy budgie. ^-^ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Gov: 5 Psychology: 4 Stats: 3 (I'm still super psyched that I managed to pass in the first place) Calc BC: 2 (and happy that it wasn't a 1) AB subscore 3 (YAY!!!!)

I can hardly handle the three I had this last year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikerEZ he/him Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Last year, I got a 5 on the AP Human Geo test. This year, I got a 4 on the AP Spanish test and a 5 on the WHAP test. I'm pretty proud of myself this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Congrats @Left, @The Flash, @Elenion, and @StrikerEZ on your successes with AP tests!! I have another small batch of hummingbird photos to share Rufous Hummingbirds (2 photos): Spoiler Male: Female: Broad-tailed Hummingbirds (3 photos): Spoiler All males: Zoom zoom! Black-chinned Hummingbird (1 photo): Spoiler Male. This was the only shot I got where you can actually see the purple on his throat. Female hummer that I'm not 100% sure what species she is: Spoiler Look, you can see her little tongue just barely poking out the end of her beak! I think she's a Broad-tailed Hummingbird, but she could be a Black-chinned either, since the females of those two species look very similar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
