Mostly I was stuck between a Red-Tailed and Coopers Hawk, which is also common in this area and you’re more likely to see in a city. The talon color and inability to gauge the size(Coopers are smaller) were giving me pause.
It is pretty cool to find it mid-city. I’d expect to see a Coopers Hawk or Peregrine Falcon, but not a Red-Tail. I lived in the Hudson Valley for a long time and they always avoided the cities in favor of the forests.
Neat! Looks like a Red-Tailed Hawk, but I can’t tell definitively.
I think a lot of the capitulation you’re seeing is just the cascading aftereffects of the ramping up of migrant shipping policies from the southern border states(or just Texas I guess). The scale of that kind of forced some form of reaction outside the norm.
Sorry :( but if you can interchange the right side panels and nothing changes with the messaging it kind of doesn’t land well.
Nothing has foundationally changed with the DNC position over this time period. There was no “Chad” period where they actually fought back and have always rolled over for immigration fearmongering.
It’s also just not a good meme, which is why I personally downvoted.
Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!
That’s how it shows up for me at least. Reduced aspect ratio and the top/bottoms of images are cropped to a standard size. I have been needing to wait a second for the image to fully load it’s full format rather than needing to interact with a post though - it just happens automatically when it’s in view on the screen.
Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you’re the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you’re being.
The key is to know which rules to break with which customer though. That’s the hard part.
European Starlings were introduced in the US about 100 years ago by a misguided fool in Manhattan. They are invasive, but absolutely everywhere around the US at this point and that’s definitely a European Starling fledgling.
This would be better if the red circle didn’t cover the article dates.
This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.
The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.
