Great news everyone that’s actually a cackling goose, the Canadian Goose (demon cobra chicken)’s smaller, cuter, and less aggressive cousin <3

#wheres that post like 'the worst thing about transition is i'm scared of death now'. bc yeah #had a great time though. would happily do it again next week. it'd been 3 years since i last did a salmon swim and i missed it.#counted >1000 slamon (coho & chum) and saw 4 bears. got so so cold and now my body hates me but thats ok i think #also there was a mixed flock of white-fronted and cackling geese hanging out by the hatchery and i was fangirling over them

ooooh! potentially! you have taught me a thing today. looking at photos for comparison, the neck looks short and stubby from this angle (could be the angle though), but the beak is not quite as snubby as the other cackling geese pics... i will keep an eye out in the local flocks i see from now for these guys now that i know! thanks! :)

today’s bird is this family of canada geese with TEN babies!

I think I saw a new kind of duck at the park today :3

She was hanging out with the Canada Geese, and I couldn't get a close look at her, but she looked too light brown to be one of the Mallards I usually see there. I don't have much to go on, but my best guess is she was an American Wigeon!

It doesn't seem unlikely, reading about their feeding behavior, I just wish I had gotten a better look at her. I was also a little confused seeing just one duck with the geese. She was very pretty, even though I couldn't see her as well as I'd like. Ducks are such charming birds!

#im also fairly certain some cackling geese were in the flock as well but i couldn't get a good look at their beaks either #but they were notably small! much closer to the duck in size than the canada geese #another feature of the duck that stood out to me was her light beak! it seemed very pale in the (admittedly very gloomy)#lighting today. her cheeks also struck me as somewhat pale. this wigeon picture strikes a lot of the key notes that stood out to me

Song of the Day: February 26

“Diamonds in the Mud” by Gerry Cinnamon

#song of the day #another song off that same excellent concept playlist by losersimonriley #there's so many more Scottish bands added to my circulation now it's wonderful #this is a song specifically about Glasgow being his hometown so he uses more of his accent for it which I love #I've been pestering my brothers with accent and slang fun facts for a while now #more or less since the first time somebody had Soap use a particular Scottish saying in their CoD fic and made me go over all !!!!#'innsidh na geòidh as t'fhoghar e' translates to 'the geese will tell it in autumn' and reading that nearly made me explode #because when I was a small child and I asked my uncle too many 'why' questions he told me not to worry about it #that the geese would tell me next fall #amazing to me to find out decades later through Call of Duty fanfiction that that's an actual phrase #preserved for who knows how many generations between the first Scottish folks who must've brought it to Appalachia #and then eventually my Uncle Tommy who decided to use it to turn the aggravation tables around on a child #I'm thinking about that again now not just because it still blows my mind a little bit #(really truly had so firmly accepted it as just my Uncle Tommy trolling me with nonsense. it's such a thing he'd do)#but also because of a specific bit from the end of the song 'it's thirteen degrees and there's folk in the street in the scud'#that's just under 60F (a blissfully warm sunny day in Glasgow it seems) and 'in the scud' means 'naked'#which is also a thing I've almost heard from my family!#my aunts up the mountain and therefore also my father at times would say 'in the scuff' (my aunts with a little tilt to the vowel sound)#there was a sort of connotation of it being a silly or immature or maybe drunken sort of naked. an unimpressive naked at least #like 'Tommy fell into the muddy end of the pond trying to catch that damnfool heron' (this is a true story btw. take that Uncle Tommy)#'when he got back his wife made him take off all his clothin in the yard and hose down first. had to walk into his house in th scuff'#and then all the old ladies cackle about Tommy walkin through his door 'both heads hangin low' and my dad winces a little bit #it's important I share all these memories with my siblings now. most of the family's dead and gone and the boys don't remember #very fun for me to tell the stories now and see Nick do the exact same wince at the slightly mean-spirited dick commentary #just a little family legacy in action. thank you Gerry Cinnamon #(in the spirit of song-of-the-day though I will share my favorite line without the contextual boost of silly ereborne family stories:#'I know a guy who's a lightweight / one or two jars and he's buckled #he's the guy that loses keys / has to break into his ain house and gets huckled'#ungodly fun to sing and I do know several of this guy. not related to them though. my whole family drinks like fish)

It's so wild to me that ravens just live in downtown Beaverton, they must have moved in around 4-6 months ago , and despite my expectations have not only stuck around but seemed to have completely integrated with the local crow population. I saw one just a little while ago at the transit center while I was waiting for my train, just perched at a lamppost yelling at the flock of cackling geese in the adjacent field.

I've always heard that crows and ravens don't get along, but despite that it seems like whenever I've seen the ravens they are either peacefully coexisting with the neighborhood crows, or even perching/foraging alongside them. I know crows and ravens are capable of interbreeding in some rare cases, but based off of their size, appearance, and calls, the Beaverton ravens are fully ravens. I guess the Beaverton crows are just uniquely tolerant of new immigrants, even ones that are 3 times bigger and have much deeper voices. It sorta feels like something out of those warriors or guardians of gahoole books.

#ravens #crows #oregon #birds #considering how big that raven was and how small our cackling geese are it probably could go after one if it got some helpf #but considering all the trash and squirrels and other easier prey and food options for the ravens i dont see why they would bother.
