Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm talking looking out your window, what mammals, birds, reptiles, cool bugs, or other critters do you occasionally see?

Lots of different birds - mockingbirds, ibis, woodpeckers, blue jays, crows, hawks, vultures. Night heron.

Sometimes bats, always squirrels, sometimes a possum or raccoon.

Little lizards everywhere, sometimes a snake.

Wasps, bees, butterflies, dragonflies.

At work - beautiful great blue herons, great white herons, tricolor herons, cormorants, ducks, and the occasional alligator all come to the mitigation pond at the office park. ETA also at some time in the year there are these big storks that look prehistoric.

I love large waterfowl like sand hill cranes. You can absolutely tell they're just modern dinosaurs.
